In a world that often seems chaotic and full of uncertainty, the wisdom of Epictetus, one of the three leading Stoic philosophers alongside Marcus Aurelius and Seneca, stands out as a beacon of hope and resilience. His timeless teachings remind us of the strength and dignity we harbor within ourselves.
Epictetus was born a slave, yet lived as a free man. He lived in poverty, yet felt happiness. He was the beloved and humble teacher of dozens of people of his time, from the most obscure to the most prominent, and continues to inspire anyone who dares to embark on the journey towards inner wisdom.
From the renowned "Enchiridion" to the deeply meaningful "Discourses," Epictetus's great texts offer the reader an enlightening and simultaneously illuminating journey into Stoic philosophy. They teach us to cultivate our inner peace and personal freedom, to embrace what troubles and challenges us, and to take responsibility for our happiness.
For, according to Epictetus, true strength does not lie in external conditions: it emanates from our mind and heart.
The "Enchiridion" and the "Discourses" are a treasure trove of wisdom for daily use for anyone seeking inspiration, resilience, and joy in their life.
