Savor the Opportunity of Prosperity Awaiting

In the 1st century AD, it wouldn't have been common to claim Epictetus was a powerful or wealthy figure in Rome. His lowly status as a slave would have discouraged such assertions, given his name Epictetus means "acquired one." However, what philosophy offered Epictetus insight was the...

Epictetus Month: Dive into the Wisdom of a Stoic Philosopher

In July, join us for Epictetus Month, a special event dedicated to exploring the life, legacy, and lessons of the ancient Stoic philosopher Epictetus.

Born a lowly slave in Rome during the first century AD, Epictetus' philosophy has left an indelible mark on history. His teachings have resonated with notable figures such as Marcus Aurelius, James Stockdale, Frederick the Great, Teddy Roosevelt, Blaise Pascal, and more.

Epictetus' name, which translates to "acquired one," suggests a life of learning and growth. He came to understand that many powerful people were, in fact, slaves to ambition, desire, insecurities, money, and fame. His philosophy encourages us to focus on what we can control—our thoughts, judgments, and beliefs about what happens to us—for it is the empire we must rule.

The world can upend us at any moment, but we always command our own minds. This simple yet profound idea is at the heart of Epictetus' Stoicism.

During Epictetus Month, you can delve into his teachings through the Penguin Classic edition of his Discourses, available for purchase as part of the event. For a deeper understanding, we've created a new course titled How To Read Epictetus (A Digital Guide). This comprehensive guide is available as part of a bundle that includes a 25% discount when purchased during the month.

To make the learning experience even more enriching, Ryan Holiday, a renowned writer and thinker, will host a private LIVE Q&A session for those who purchase the course before July 26.

Epictetus' philosophy offers a valuable resource for answering life's most important questions. His teachings have influenced key Renaissance figures like Montaigne and Pascal, major literary and philosophical figures like Emerson and Nietzsche, and remain foundational for modern Stoicism.

Join us this July and discover the wisdom of Epictetus for yourself. Visit the website/epictetuscourse to learn more and get the book, guide, and bundle. Remember, enslavement, including torture and lifelong disability, did not affect Epictetus' power over himself. Let his resilience inspire you as you embark on this journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

Explore Epictetus' teachings on education and self-development during the special event, Epictetus Month, where you can delve into his Discourses and enrich your personal growth through a new course titled How To Read Epictetus (A Digital Guide).
