## What Jamie wrote

Babauta shares what he sees as five overlapping concepts between Stoicism and Zen Buddhism. 

> 1. What We Control
> 2. Reminder of Death
> 3. Loving What Is
> 4. Contemplate Misfortune
> 5. A Higher Perspective

Not a long article. The concepts are covered in simple and plain language. I truly believe if we could do all five of these on a regular basis — we will be happier. Personally I struggle with all of them. I do reasonably good contemplating what I control. Death terrifies me and "last time" meditations are about as close as I can get to that right now.
