Narrated by Digital Voice Mike G

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

By reading this summary, you will learn how to live free by learning to detach yourself from your suffering.

You will also discover :

• that happiness depends only on you ;
• that to live happily and freely, you must exist in harmony with nature;
• that philosophy is above all a constant practice that must lead to wisdom;
• that only your faculty of choice is really in your power.

Not to let the misfortunes of life get to you, while at the same time removing fear, jealousy, envy or resentment from your heart, is the mark of truly free men. At least, this is what the philosophers of the Stoic school, founded in the third century BC by Zeno of Citium, think. It is this impassivity and serenity that Epictetus, a Stoic philosopher born between 50 and 60 AD, aims at. His very life is an example of this: a former slave, he became the most famous philosopher of his time. Travelers came from far and wide to attend his lectures, which one of his students, Arrien, summarized in The Manual of Epictetus. A call to radically transform your relationship with the world, this work is a promise of liberation. Are you ready to practice freedom?
