Stoic Foundations: Epictetus’ Discourses Book 1

Stoic Foundations is the plain English version of Discourses Book 1 by the eminent Stoic philosopher Epictetus. It revolves around 10 themes which are also repeated in other places throughout Discourses. These are: * Concern yourself with only what is in your power* Be content to let things happen as they do* Your thinking, not the externals, drives your behavior* Do not place value on external things* Don’t give in to your anger or animal instincts* You can handle anything; always act your best* Learn to think properly and logically* Practice, not knowledge, results in progress* Only you can make you happyDr. Chuck Chakrapani has been a long-term, but embarrassingly inconsistent practitioner of Stoicism.
