Story4.5 out of 5 stars 15
Epictetus was brought as a slave to Rome, where he became a great teacher. His philosophy, called stoicism, was practical, not theoretical - aimed at relieving suffering here and now. And Epictetus knew suffering. Besides being a former slave, he was lame in one leg and walked with a crutch. Turning these obstacles to his advantage, Epictetus learned that lasting peace and happiness can only come from within. The Manual is a collection of Epictetus' essential teachings. It points the way to inner harmony and freedom, through all of life's storms and stresses.

Short and to the point

Liked the summary and insightful practices you can return to or listen regularly - it’s not a listen once and archive audiobook. Audio quality is not great: volumes vary as well as the recording quality through the audiobook - nothing critical, but should be better.
