Epictetus was a Stoic philosopher, and in my humble opinion, one of the most profound and worthwhile to read. If you’re looking for a book that combines practical wisdom with a touch of ancient history, I highly recommend his work titled “Discourses.” Epictetus rose from slavery to become one of the most respected philosophers of his time. His insights are clear and straightforward, offering guidance on how to live a life of virtue, resilience, and inner peace. His teachings encourage us to focus on what we can control and to accept what we cannot, making “Discourses” a helpful guide for the messiness of life. At 4.42 stars on goodreads with 8,444 ratings, it’s a safe bet.
