Summary
Epictetus was a Greek Stoic philosopher. This short "handbook", which was actually written down by one of his pupils, is a guide to daily living. It has been read by countless people over the centuries because of its sensibility and its easy application to daily living. Unlike some of his forefathers in philosophy, like Plato and Aristotle, he focuses on how to practically apply oneself on a philosophical level.

listened to it several times
I think I've listened to it some 10 times or more. I definitely don't agree on all things but it's my go to book for practical wisdom.

This is all well and good to a degree but it’s not fit for the 21st C. Modern authors give context and reasoning. These Greek ancients just broadcasted and didn’t explain why. Yawn.
