    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 Stoicism is a philosophy that teaches you how to live a good life, regardless of what happens. It prepares you for the tough times, gives you perspective, and puts things in context.

    #2 Stoicism is a philosophy that was developed by the Greek philosopher Marcus Aurelius. It is a way of life that is based on the idea that the best way to live is to be happy and healthy, and it offers guidance for life in the 21st century.

    #3 Epictetus was a Stoic philosopher who was born in Hierapolis in Phrygia, around 50 ce. He was a slave who was sent to Rome as a servant, and after studying philosophy with Musonius Rufus, he was eventually freed and expelled from Rome by Domitian.

    #4 The nature of the good is the honorable, and the nature of the bad is the shameful. The nature of the wrongdoer is akin to me. I cannot be harmed by anyone because I cannot be enmeshed in what is shameful.
