Marcus Aurelius was my first introduction to Stoicism, but it was Epictetus' The Enchiridion that had served as my guide to living a good, intellectually rich life. Epictetus' teachings are life-changing if you apply them to your life, and it is Epictetus' own life story that gives them such significance to me. – source2022-08-17T18:58:01.000Z
