Explore ancient Stoic philosophy and the valuable lessons it offers for modern life. This new edition includes the Handbook and selected Discourses of the great Stoic philosopher Epictetus, who believed that moral philosophy should be a practical guide to living better. His work provides timeless guidance on how to live authentically, "according to nature." Like other prominent Stoic thinkers, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus teaches us how to achieve self-mastery through reason and virtue. In this impressive addition to the Capstone Classics series, you can discover or rediscover the famous guide of the Greek philosopher on how to live the best life possible. Epictetus emphasizes that personal strength and peace of mind are your rights. He focused on maintaining discipline concerning matters within our control and accepting those we cannot control. The key to self-improvement is learning what is "in our power," without judging as good or bad anything we cannot influence. In this remarkably simple yet transformative worldview, we gain mental calmness and have a greater influence on the world. Discover Epictetus's practical ethical philosophy and gain peace from the Stoic message of accepting what we cannot control. Whether you are studying philosophy or engaging in your personal development, Selected Discourses - The Wisdom of Epictetus will be a valuable addition to your library.
