Collected by Arrian, a devoted student of Epictetus, these sayings encapsulate the heart of Stoic ethics—self-control, resilience, clarity of thought, and alignment with nature. Epictetus teaches us to master what is within our control and to let go of the rest. These brief but powerful sayings are ideal for both deep study and casual meditation.
Epictetus (c. 55 – 135 CE) was born a slave, became a philosopher, and left behind a legacy of moral clarity and strength. Unlike theoretical philosophers, he focused on practical ethics—how to live well in a difficult world.
Narrator Mark Cassidy brings calm authority and clarity to each saying, offering a steady voice for contemplation and insight.
This audiobook includes full on-screen subtitles, helping you absorb each idea at your own pace. Paired with relaxing visuals, it’s ideal for quiet listening, reflection, or note-taking.
