The Discourses of Epictetus are a series of informal lectures by the Stoic philosopher Epictetus written down by his pupil Arrian around 108 AD. Four books out of an original eight are still extant. The philosophy of Epictetus is intensely practical. He directs his students to focus attention on their opinions, anxieties, passions and desires, so that "they may never fail to get what they desire, nor fall into what they avoid." True education lies in learning to distinguish what is our own from what does not belong to us, and in learning to correctly assent or dissent to external impressions. The purpose of his teaching was to make people free and happy.
This is my own recording of Book 1/4 of The Discourses of Epictetus.

1 month later, after listening to this 10+ times I can finally listen from start to finish and fully understand. What a night and day difference. My discussions with people is more meaningful, I pay more attention. I dont complain and I enjoy to the fullest. My whole life finally makes sense, I have not only learned to live but also how to die.

“Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.” ―Epictetus

I find Arrian's introduction quite touching. He feels like a real person just trying to do his best, not a remote name from centuries ago.

Epictetus’s works are filled with wit and humor, two words that you may not often relate to a Stoic philosopher. But his book is absolutely hilarious to read. I purchased several books and sent them to my best friends as gifts.

3 rules to live by... 1. As soon as you wake up in the morning, get up get going. 2. If you're tired and need rest, dont be afraid to break rule 1. 3. dont be afraid to break rule 2.:text-green-game-over:
-
Moral purpose is what we hold no one ever except ourselves can control it. It can never be taken away just as our impressions. There’s no enemies within, just ourselves to hold accountable to our overall physical and mental well-being . I would call this an indestructible man.
-
‘til our fearless leader returns, shall we say “Woe is me“? I think not! As he rests his mind, let us engage ours upon this letter from times passed.

Such a great channel. This is a great service you are doing for everyone. Stoicism is so salient of a philosophy at this time with the Coronavirus pandemic. Bend but never break is my motto.
