About The Golden Sayings
"The Golden Sayings" is a collection of practical teachings and advice by Epictetus, a Stoic philosopher who lived in the first century AD. The book emphasizes the importance of self-mastery, rationality, and living a virtuous life according to Stoic principles. Epictetus emphasizes that true wealth comes from having few wants, and that one must be in control of oneself to truly be free. He also emphasizes the importance of responding to events in a rational manner, focusing on what one can control rather than what one cannot. The book encourages humility, the practice of self-reflection, and an attitude of gratitude towards what one has rather than lamenting what one lacks. Read in English, unabridged.
