Description
Brought to you by Penguin.
This Penguin Classic is performed by Richard Goulding, best known for Me Before You, The Iron Lady and The Windsors.
Epictetus, a Greek stoic and freed slave, ran a thriving philosophy school in Nicropolis in the early second century AD. His animated discussions were celebrated for their rhetorical wizardry and were written down by Arrian, his most famous pupil. Together with the Enchiridion, a manual of his main ideas, and the fragments collected here, The Discourses argue that happiness lies in learning to perceive exactly what is in our power to change and what is not, and in embracing our fate to live in harmony with god and nature. In this personal, practical guide to the ethics of stoicism and moral self-improvement, Epictetus tackles questions of freedom and imprisonment, illness and fear, family, friendship and love, and leaves an intriguing document of daily life in the classical world.

Histoire
As former tutor and adviser to Emperor Nero, philosopher and statesman Seneca was acutely aware of how short life can be - his own life was cut short when the emperor ordered him to commit suicide (for alleged involvement in a conspiracy). And Seneca proved true to his words - his lifelong avowal to Stoicism enabled him to conduct himself with dignity to the end. During his rich and busy life, Seneca wrote a series of essays that have advised and enriched the lives of generations down to the present day.

Histoire
The Enchiridion or Handbook of Epictetus is a short manual of Stoic ethical advice compiled by Arrian, a 2nd-century disciple of the Greek philosopher Epictetus. Although the content is mostly derived from the Discourses of Epictetus, it is not a summary of the Discourses but rather a compilation of practical precepts. Eschewing metaphysics, Arrian focuses his attention on Epictetus's work applying philosophy to daily life. The book is thus a manual to show the way to achieve mental freedom and happiness in all circumstances.

Whenever we worry about what to eat, how to love, or simply how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal is more elusive. In How to Be a Stoic, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers Stoicism, the ancient philosophy that inspired the great emperor Marcus Aurelius, as the best way to attain it. Stoicism is a pragmatic philosophy that teaches us to act depending on what is within our control and separate things worth getting upset about from those that are not.

Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was the final famous Stoic philosopher of the ancient world. The Meditations, his personal journal, survives to this day as one of the most loved self-help and spiritual classics of all time.

He discusses Stoic techniques for coping with everyday problems, from irrational fears and bad habits to anger, pain, and illness.

Histoire
Stoicism, a school of Hellenistic thought founded in Athens in the third century BC, was one of the most sublime philosophies in the history of Western civilization. It is a way of living that focuses on reality instead of fantasy or idealism. According to its teachings, the path to peace and happiness is found in accepting the moment as it presents itself, by not allowing oneself to be ruled by the desire for pleasure or by the fear of pain.

Simply Excellent
A must read. IMO the “source” of other books from authors such as Ryan Holiday or other modern “Stoicism” writings where the the Root of Consciousness’s (“God”) influence has been left out, but cannot be ruled out.

Engaging and illuminating but incomplete
Epictetus' Discourses and the Enchiridion are justly famous philosophical works, if not as well known as Marcus Aurelius' Meditations.
Goulding's narration is very engaging and hits the exact tone I imagine in my head when reading the text. No complaints at all on that front.
However, the translation leaves some to be desired if you want a little more rigour. One notable example is how, when Epictetus is rebuking some member of his audience, the narration has him call them "idiot." This gets the sense more or less right, but the word is more accurately translated "slave." Today, of course, we wouldn't use this as an insult. But Epictetus was himself enslaved, until he was manumitted fairly late in life. And he makes a distinction between being enslaved as a social status versus making oneself a slave to others' whims by caring about things not under one's control. So the rebuke has that nuance as well.
The text also is significantly abridged. This is normal in audiobooks, unless they specifically say "unabridged."
It's particularly annoying that no translator is credited, other than to note that it's a public domain translation. So I assume this is a gloss on either Long or Oldfather's translation; I can't tell which.
If this is your entry point to Stoicism, more power to you! It gets the important parts right, and presents the language in a vivid, powerful way, and made more accessible to a modern audience. I just hope listeners will develop a curiosity to check out the full text.
