Transforming Your Existence: A Step-by-Step Guide
In the spirit of Epictetus Month, we are excited to announce the availability of the Penguin Classic edition of Discourses, along with the course "How To Read Epictetus". This comprehensive offering aims to help you apply the essential teachings of the ancient Stoic philosopher in your daily life.
Epictetus, born a slave, rose to become one of the most influential philosophers in history. He established his own school in Nicopolis, where students, including the emperor Hadrian, came to learn. Epictetus mastered the art of resilience, enduring severe torture and hardship, and teaching that freedom lies in wanting only what we can control: our character, our choices, our reasoned response.
The teachings of Epictetus, captured by his student Arrian, remain some of the most essential teachings in Stoicism. He taught that our judgments disturb us, not events themselves. To focus on what can be controlled, we should concentrate our energy on our own thoughts, actions, and attitudes, accepting everything outside our control with calmness.
The course "How To Read Epictetus" helps you to stop being ruled by emotions and impulses, and to master your responses to events. It encourages you to question and manage your emotions, training indifference to what is outside your control, and finding freedom and peace in doing so. The course aims to provide peace and calm in modern life, helping you to navigate the chaotic and fast-paced world with resilience and emotional control.
