Epictetus was born a slave and taught that almost nothing is in our control except how we meet what happens. He wrote nothing down; his student Arrian recorded these lectures, which is why they still sound like a voice in a room.
Marcus Aurelius read Epictetus. So did every Stoic revival since. Hand-bound in genuine leather with gold-tone detailing, this edition is made to order for a philosophy shelf that gets used.
