His works offer timeless instruction on how to live authentically, “in accordance with nature”. Like other prominent Stoic thinkers Seneca and Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus teaches us to attain self-mastery through the use of reason and virtuous living. In this striking addition to the Capstone Classics series, you can discover—or rediscover—the renowned Greek philosopher's guide to living the best life possible. Epictetus teaches that personal power and peace of mind are your birthright. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpictetus focused on maintaining discipline in matters that are under our control, and letting go of matters that are not. The key to improving oneself is to learn what is ‘in one's power’, not judging as good or bad anything over which we have no sway. In this remarkably simple yet transformative worldview, we gain peace of mind and have a greater impact on the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscover the practical moral philosophy of Epictetus, renowned Greek philosopher in the Stoic tradition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGain solace and peace of mind from the Stoic message of letting go of what we cannot control\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn the key messages of Epictetus in a new edition introduced by personal development author Tom Butler-Bowdon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGain the keys to a virtuous, productive, and happy life\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhether you are formally studying philosophy or pursuing your own personal development, \u003ci\u003eSelected Discourses - The Wisdom of Epictetus\u003c\/i\u003e will make an excellent addition to your library.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction by \u003ci\u003eTom Butler-Bowdon\u003c\/i\u003e vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Author xxi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnchiridion 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscourses 41\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to Be True to Yourself in Every Situation 43\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat We Can Make of the Fact That We Are Products of a Supreme Being 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn Progress, or Moral Advance 51\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn Providence 56\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn Affection for Family 62\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn Contentment 70\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to Behave around Powerful People 76\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf You Wish to Be Admired 81\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to Deal with Difficulties 82\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDealing with Difficulties II 87\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn Peace of Mind 94\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 98\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Philosophy%20%5BHP%5D%22\"\u003eHP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Capstone","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52449450885400,"sku":"9780857089953","price":10.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780857089953.jpg?v=1785199866","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/selected-discourses-the-wisdom-of-epictetus-the-stoic-classic-hardback-9780857089953","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
