Epictetus (b.55)

Tonight, we delve into the tranquil realms of ancient wisdom, where the stoic teachings of Epictetus guide us through the gentle art of letting go. In the soft whispers of the night, The Enchiridion offers us the serene clarity of distinguishing what is within our control and what lies beyond it, instilling a peaceful acceptance in the soul. Through The Discourses, we engage in a deeper, more reflective conversation, exploring how the philosophy of Stoicism applies to the intricacies of daily life and the pursuit of virtue. Allow these age-old insights to seep into your evening, bringing a calm resolve and a harmonious closure to the day.This episode is hosted by William Davis.
