Histoire
Written in Greek by an intellectual Roman emperor without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a wide range of fascinating spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods and Aurelius's own emotions.

Histoire
In these four dialogues, Plato develops the Socratic belief in responsibility for one's self and shows Socrates living and dying under his philosophy. In Euthyphro, Socrates debates goodness outside the courthouse, Apology sees him in court, rebutting all charges of impiety, in Crito, he refuses an entreaty to escape from prison, and in Phaedo, Socrates faces his impending death with calmness and skillful discussion of immortality.

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 Republic, Plato's masterwork, was first enjoyed 2,400 years ago and remains one of the most widely read books in the world. Presented as a dialogue between Plato's teacher Socrates and various interlocutors, it is an exhortation to philosophy, inviting its listeners to reflect on the choices to be made if we are to live the best life available to us. This complex, dynamic work creates a picture of an ideal society governed not by the desire for money, power or fame, but by philosophy, wisdom and justice.

Histoire
Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche's position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects traditional Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche seeks to demonstrate that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a 'slave morality'. With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual impose their own 'will to power' upon the world.

Histoire
'The two foes of human happiness are pain and boredom.' Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century because his humanistic, atheistic, if pessimistic views chimed with a new secularism that was emerging from a Western society dominated by religion. Despite his rather forbidding image (and a few outdated views), he is one of the most approachable German philosophers, and this is certainly evident in these two key works, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims.

Histoire
Almost every religion, spiritual practice, philosophy and person grapples with fear. The most repeated phrase in the Bible is “Be not afraid.” The ancient Greeks spoke of phobos, panic and terror. It is natural to feel fear, the Stoics believed, but it cannot rule you. Courage, then, is the ability to rise above fear, to do what’s right, to do what’s needed, to do what is true. And so it rests at the heart of the works of Marcus Aurelius, Aristotle, and CS Lewis, alongside temperance, justice, and wisdom.

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.

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.
