Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Master Your Mind, Reclaim Your Peace, and Build an Unshakeable Inner Fortress.In a world filled with distraction, anxiety, and events beyond our control, where can we turn for strength and tranquility The answers lie in the timeless wisdom of Stoicism, and there is no more powerful guide than Epictetus-a man who was born a slave but lived as one of the freest souls in the Roman Empire.Epictetus's own life was a testament to his teachings. Enslaved in the court of Emperor Nero, he endured immense hardship, including a deliberately broken leg, with perfect Stoic composure. After gaining his freedom, he established a legendary philosophical school where he taught that the key to a flourishing life is distinguishing what is within our control from what is not.
