Epictetus is hands down my favorite Stoic philosopher. The guy was born a slave in ancient Rome, had his leg broken by his master, and still lived with more resilience and inner peace than most of us do today—despite all our modern comforts. It’s wild to think that we have endless luxuries, technology, and freedom, yet still struggle with misery and dissatisfaction. Meanwhile, Epictetus had nothing but his mind and his philosophy, and that was enough. If that’s not proof of Stoicism’s power, I don’t know what is."
