*“Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.” ―Epictetus*

let’s go babyyy book review is back

1 month later, after listening to this 10+ times I can finally listen from start to finish and fully understand. What a night and day difference. My discussions with people is more meaningful, I pay more attention. I dont complain and I enjoy to the fullest. My whole life finally makes sense, I have not only learned to live but also how to die.

I find Arrian's introduction quite touching. He feels like a real person just trying to do his best, not a remote name from centuries ago.

I’m here after the “reopening” of Pewdiepie’s book- club / book-review in January 2021 lol, libraries are closed due to the pandemic, so I’m very grateful for this video!! Also Happy New Year, guys!!

Hello I am a pewdiepie dork and will be listening to this.

Excellent, thank you for these audio books, i'm sure it has changed many peoples lives.

I've been listening to your narrations since 2018. You were and are one of my greatest resources for studying stoicism. Thank you.

summary Epictetus believed that the key to a happy life is to focus on what is within our control and to accept what is outside of our control. He taught that we should not be attached to external things, such as wealth or status, but rather we should focus on developing our inner character and virtues. Epictetus believed that we should strive to be virtuous in all aspects of our lives, including our thoughts, actions, and emotions. He taught that we should be mindful of our thoughts and emotions, and that we should strive to cultivate a sense of inner peace and tranquility. Epictetus believed that we should treat others with kindness and compassion, and that we should strive to live in harmony with others. He taught that we should be grateful for what we have, and that we should not be envious of others or seek to acquire more than we need. Epictetus believed that we should be prepared for adversity and that we should view challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. He taught that we should be self-reliant and not depend on external things or other people for our happiness. Overall, The Discourses of Epictetus is a guide to living a virtuous and fulfilling life, based on the principles of Stoicism.

Divinely Grateful for this Wisdom, For My Peace of Mind, at this moment of so many stressfulness in the world.

Many lost souls in the comments many don’t understand which is sad but thanks for posting for people who are here to become one with virtue

Such a great channel. This is a great service you are doing for everyone. Stoicism is so salient of a philosophy at this time with the Coronavirus pandemic. Bend but never break is my motto.

‘til our fearless leader returns, shall we say “Woe is me“? I think not! As he rests his mind, let us engage ours upon this letter from times passed.

Perfect. Keep the next 3 books coming!

I love Epictetus and your voice. Thank you for your work. It wraps me in consolation.

listened to this already 3 times. really like it!! Great voice acting.

I love all these audiobooks, so much spiritual knowledge that completely transforms perception of life.

Your voice is very comfortable to listen to for extended periods of time and pronunciation is clear. Thank you for your work!

(Footnotes 4 me) 1:23:00 "the bad doer does wrong to himself.. " 1:55:40 How might we conduct ourselves toward tyrants

Epictetus’s works are filled with wit and humor, two words that you may not often relate to a Stoic philosopher. But his book is absolutely hilarious to read. I purchased several books and sent them to my best friends as gifts.

Great advice in the midst of mass hysteria surrounding current affairs

Hey Robin! Look who is literally happy here. Thank you, my friend!!!!! I have been literally checking your channel daily for the past 10 days for this and now it is here. hurahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank the heavens that I may draw inspiration from such a great and beautiful mind.

His mastery of language was exemplary

Your readings are the best part of UKposts. I can’t thank you enough for bringing Seneca and EP to life.

Aha! I was waiting on this reading.

3 rules to live by... 1. As soon as you wake up in the morning, get up get going. 2. If you're tired and need rest, dont be afraid to break rule 1. 3. dont be afraid to break rule 2.

Currently going through kratom withdrawals. These words have helped me gain perspective and understanding.

I will be spending more time with these readings on your channel. And possibly purchasing the books in the future. Thank you very much.

12;30 to hold the pot or not to hold the pot. If you are going to sell yourself do it at a good price. 23:28 What is the work of virtue? Serenity! Progress is not just in knowing but in practicing. 3042 Against the academics.How to behave when alone and with other people. My biggest contention with Epictetus is his comments about God and gods.2:40;55 "We ought not to be angry with men!

Thank you so much Robin! Your narration of the Enchiridion led me to buy the Discourses of Epictetus a few months ago. I read them, but hearing your narration is a far more enjoyable experience!

Had to listen this on segments just to not get lost. Really fine piece.

Thank you sir. Excellent narration. Excellent choice of body of work. Considered and thoughtful.

Binge watching all your videos...thanks for all this effort!

A perfect reading of a wonderful work. Thank you.

Thank you, for your narration pokes through the listener's soul and I can't help catching a laugh for the dry humour!

Thank you very much for this! It's such an agreeable narration. I was listening with both pleasure and fascination - and I know I will listen to it many times - as a meditation.

My very favorite philosopher! How damn cool is this!

A must for all young teenagers before they hit the streets , might help humanity , down the road eh!

this will be the first philosophy book i will “read” so let’s see how it goes

“Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.” ―Epictetus I get that people who can't appreciate what they have can be slaves to always wanting more, but this can also come across as sour grapes. You'll never lose if you don't play.

💚my favorite thing to listen to as I get the kids to school 💚

Thanks again Vox!

Masterful narration. Also, rather appropriate for the times.

Thank you as always!

Excellent presented share, Vox stoica,

Wow !the world is open to me know thank you.

I live in a place where it is hard to find books in english. I appreciate your work

So well done, thank you.

Very good reading, love it!

great upload. Thanks!

I love Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius and all of the stoic literature however this translation is difficult and tedious. Thank you very much for reading this to everyone

Love philosophy it truly changes your mindset and can learn alot

Great audiobook. Thanks

Chapter 9 was so relatable to my life at the moment

02:08:22 "Who are those people by whom you wish to be admired? Are they not those whom you are in a habit of saying that they are mad? What then? Do you wish to be admired by the mad?"

Man this is great! Please continue, fellows 19 years old

Very good stuff. Keep up the good work.

Beautiful Thank you.

Chapter 17 18 19 were so good I actually listened an didn't day dream lol

Exceptional narration.

your tone matches this topic good job

The single dislike of this video is there for a good reason. It's a simple yet subtle test - a raised finger; for one cannot help seeing this thumb down and wonder, 'who on gods Earth would dislike this?' But it is of absolutely no impotence to you and should have no impact on your appreciation.

Philosophy for life yes 🙌🏻

Book review is my favourite of his content plus anything with marzia.

You are criminally underrated

*Fun Fact* : "Epictetus" is just a nickname, wich in greek means "obtained" (which is obvious a reference that he was a slave). Furthermore, Epictetus never had a real name, he just lived with this horrible description.

if you are listening to this on desktop, play lofi hip hop ( or your music of choice) on low in another browser. sometimes just listening to the words makes me lose interest and keeping it on low does not make it distracting :)

Wisdom cannot be all taught but experienced

Thank you again : )

Great stuff, thanks!

When might we expect book 3? I've been re-listening to these for the last month every time I get in the car.

I like when you add short summary of sentences in the video..i.e. you did that on "Seneca: Of Tranquillity of Mind - Audiobook ", it was awesome. Anyways , it's a good listening.

Doesn't see 4/4 on your channel, begins to panic slightly.

Coming here because of pewdiepies book reviews!!! Cant wait to listen :)))

And how far we have "evolved".

This is Epic..(tetus) Thanks! 😁

2:15 The things that are under our control and not under our control. The power to make use of external impressions-things. Your body is not your own? 10:30 How may a man preserve his proper character on every occasion. To rational beings the irrational is harmful. Irrational-rational is different from person to person. Holding the chamber pot. 19:46 From the thesis God is the father of mankind(?). God is the father of man and of gods? 22:09 Of Progress, Desire for good, aversion towards things that are against freedom of choice. The work of virtue is serenity. That which acts against serenity like anger and hate is a vice. 30:40 Against the academics. Petrifaction(sophism?).33:12 of providence (the protective care of God or of nature as a spiritual power.). 51:06 That the reasoning faculties in the case of the uneducated are not free from error. Being handsome, strong, or wealthy does not make you a philosopher. What is the quality, the faculty that makes a philosopher. 54:42 How from a thesis that we are akin to god can were proceed to the consequences. 1:04:04 To those who set their preferences on Rome(or New York City?). 1:07:04 On family affection. Are they in accordance with human nature(reason)? What is affectionate and reasonable(May reason and empathy guide us?). 1:29:17 On Contentment. The five statements. Freedom is a noble and precious thing. There are limits to freedom. 1:27:46 How each separate thing is made acceptable to the gods. 1:34:11 What does philosophy profess. Keeping in accord with Human nature(reason ). 1:36:20 Of providence. Animals are born to serve humans? They are signs of the providence of god. We should be grateful to what we have been given. 1:41:27 The art of reason is indensible. Stoic philosophers put logic first. 1:28:18 We ought not to be angry with the erring. Pity him, do not be angry. Be kind, be empathetic. Should you get angry at a person who has a disease? 2:03:06 How the reasoning faculty contemplates itself. 2:07:45 To those who would be admired? 20:08;47 Of our preconceptions. 21:14:52 In answer to Epicurus 2:16:57 How we should struggle against difficulties. It is difficulties that show what men are. 22;22:28 Why are we still afraid. What is our own? Who can take what is your own? If I admire my paltry body I am a slave. 2:30:13 What is the rule of life. 20:35:05 In how many ways do external impressions arise? Four ways. 2:49:53 Of steadfastness. 3:06:57 What aid ought we have at hand when facing difficulties

In moments of crisis I act of the most peculiar way I set my teeth I contact my muscles I take a firm grip on myself and always do the wrong thing

Please do the other books 🙏🏼

Better than any wisdom out there

This is so Epic

Thanks!

Should epictetus talk about singular god at 33:43? Wasn't there many gods to the people of ancient greece?

Knowledge freely shared contains a beauity. Associating a cost to this beauty devalues the freely., 😔✌️

Always wanted a good book to read about focused on Stoicsm. Thanks Pewds.

awesome!

Glad to see your channel growing... Been a couple years... And now I see comments from PewDiePie... Like damn

I love you!! ❤💪😎

You've got a Hope.

inquiry brought i here so will it again for it shall come to pass

27-30 are awesome.

Vox Stoica When are you coming back?

Hey, Epictetus, wanna go to the gym? - Naah, today I today I think I'll just kick back and invent some timeless principles of ethics, logic and moral philosopy. - Well whatever floats your boat, egghead!

There is absolutely nothing under my control. That's how I feel.

Just got a bunch of teeth ripped out time to get my mind right

Tied to many things.. entanglement, in the hindu tradition i recall that wisdom is basically add or something of that nature as well, with overlap there....so to be the wisest you could be add, because then you wont be attached to the fruits of what your wisdom puts out, after being a jack of all trades but a master of none...

Appreciate it

Book review is backkkkkk
