  “Epictetus one of the great philosophers of all time from the great stoics of all time he summarizes his own book when he says the chief task in life is to separate things that are in our control from those that are not in our control.”↗

  “Another book I've talked about so much we're going to read Epictetus Discourses and Selected Writings. If you for some reason haven't read this with the amount of yapping I've done about this book you got to do it now! I think if I had to pick one book out of all of these, one book to rule them all, I would pick The Enchiridion.”
