Epictetus
A Beginner's Guide to the Slave Who Became a Stoic Master and His Teachings on What Is Within Our Control, Including the Dichotomy of Control and the Path to TranquilityBy Alex Omberg
Length4h 34m
About this audiobook
A Roman slave discovered the secret to an unshakable freedom. Though his body was owned by another, his mind remained his own. What did he know that we have forgotten?
Epictetus, a Stoic philosopher who taught from experience, believed that we suffer not from events, but from our judgments about them. Now, for the first time, his profound wisdom is made accessible in this clear and concise guide. You will learn to distinguish what you can control from what you cannot—the essential foundation of true tranquility.
Discover how to:
- Treat adversity as a training ground for strength.
- Guard your mind against disturbing impressions.
- Find deep contentment, no matter your circumstances.
This is not abstract philosophy; it is a practical toolkit for building an unbreakable inner citadel against the chaos of the modern world.
If you are ready to stop being a slave to circumstance and become the master of your mind, your journey starts here.
