The Discourses of Epictetus Book 3

'I must die. But must I die bawling?'

Epictetus,

a Greek Stoic and freed slave, ran a thriving philosophy school in

Nicopolis in the early second century AD. His animated discussions were

celebrated for their rhetorical wizardry and were written down by

Arrian, his most famous pupil. The Discourses argue that happiness lies

in learning to perceive exactly what is in our power to change and what

is not, and in embracing our fate to live in harmony with god and

nature. In this personal, practical guide to the ethics of Stoicism and

moral self-improvement, Epictetus tackles questions of freedom and

imprisonment, illness and fear, family, friendship and love.
