Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
This Penguin Classic is performed by Richard Goulding, best known for Me Before You, The Iron Lady and The Windsors.
Epictetus, a Greek stoic and freed slave, ran a thriving philosophy school in Nicropolis 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. Together with the Enchiridion, a manual of his main ideas, and the fragments collected here, 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, and leaves an intriguing document of daily life in the classical world.

Good selection but the narration is hurried.
I am listening to it at 0.85x… it a good book but the narration is a bit hurried, it is not smooth - seems he is jumping from thought to thought… like he is about to miss a flight…

a great read and a great journey
though initially struggled a little bit, maybe with the concept of audiobook itself and stoic philosophy, the second book onwards captures and entraps you into finishing the whole thing. the dialogue based explanation and scenario based learning makes it simple enough to understand.
