Story5 out of 5 stars 8
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.

Epictetus (c. AD 50-135) was a former Roman slave (he was also lame in one leg, and walked with a crutch) who went on to become a great teacher. His philosophy, Stoicism, was practical, not theoretical - aimed at relieving human suffering here and now. The Manual is a collection of Epictetus' essential teachings and pithy sayings, compiled by one of his students.

One of my top reference books
Next to the Bible, The Art of Living by Sharon Lebell is a compendium of wisdom to apply daily the ancient guidance of Epictetus who taught Ceasar Marcus Aurelius.
It's especially beneficial if your in a funk to change your approach to thinking pivoting unto beautiful mindful living.

Disappointed
I have this as a paperback and can’t believe the way the narrator omitted all the titles and other relevant passages. I can only guess it is a newer edition. It is being read like a chapter book with no breaks and titles which distinguish the many separate concepts. A poor representation of this book. I would not buy in it’s present form but would suggest the beautiful paperback which is available.
