Aden reviewed Enchiridion by Epictetus (Dover thrift editions)
Short, thought-provoking.
5 stars
While the language can be a bit unwieldy, the precepts are short enough to gather the general meaning without getting too bogged down. We've all heard of philosophy, and we get the gist, but doubtful many have studied the core concepts of a given philosophy. This treatise on stoicism from only a few thousand years ago provides an opinionated look into a few aspects of human nature, and whether stoic or not includes some valuable considerations. This was honestly really fun to experience, though I did actually listen to it rather than read. Well-worth the time, it's extremely quick.
