In the Discourses of Epictetus, readers are invited into the classroom of one of antiquity’s greatest Stoic philosophers. Born a slave and crippled from a young age, Epictetus rose to become a revered teacher whose wisdom has echoed through centuries.This powerful collection of lectures and discussions, compiled by his student Arrian, offers a comprehensive guide to Stoic philosophy and its practical application in daily life. Epictetus challenges us to distinguish between what we can and cannot control, urging us to find true freedom by mastering our own minds and reactions to external events.With remarkable clarity and wit, Epictetus tackles life’s most pressing questions: How can we find happiness in a world of uncertainty? How should we deal with loss and adversity? What is the nature of good and evil? His answers are both profound and pragmatic, offering a timeless blueprint for living a life of virtue, tranquillity, and purpose.Whether you’re a seasoned philosopher or a newcomer to Stoic thought, Discourses of Epictetus provides invaluable lessons on resilience, ethics, and the art of living well. This enduring masterpiece continues to inspire readers to cultivate inner strength, embrace reason, and live in harmony with the natural order of the universe.Embark on a transformative journey with one of history’s most influential thinkers, and discover how ancient wisdom can illuminate the path to a more fulfilled and meaningful life in our modern world.

    HENRY DAVID THOREAU

Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War, but the sentiments he expresses here are just as pertinent ...

    Friedrich Nietzsche
