This is a conversation with Epictetus, a stoic philosopher who lived from 50 AD to 135 AD in Rome. He’s one of the most famous stoics in history, alongside Marcus Aurelius and Seneca. He was born into slavery, and eventually gained his freedom and became a philosopher. His teachings offer great wisdom on how to live a happy life.

This is a historically accurate conversation, written based on the complete works of Epictetus. A full transcript, with citations, is available on the podcast website: https://dkbshow.substack.com/.
