"I first read Epictetus almost 15 years ago now. He changed my life when I first encountered him."

– Ryan Holiday

“...on my bedside table, no matter what carrier I was aboard, were my Epictetus books.”

– James Stockdale, Thoughts of a Philosophical Fighter Pilot

“Among the Roman Stoics, two are especially noteworthy. One is Epictetus and one is Marcus Aurelius.”

– Dr. Michael Sugrue

Why Epictetus?

Born a slave in AD 55, Epictetus proved that true freedom is mastering your response to fate. His lessons, captured by his student Arrian, remain the most practical playbook in Stoicism.

- - Action over theory. No essays, just hard-hitting dialogue and drills.
  - Universal relevance. From emperors to soldiers to entrepreneurs, his teachings cut across rank and era.
  - Modern champions. Admiral James Stockdale, Tim Ferriss, and of course Ryan Holiday credit Epictetus for life-changing perspective.

This July, we’re honoring the legacy of Epictetus with something we’ve never done before: Epictetus Month

And on July 26th, Ryan will host an invite-only LIVE Q&A—a rare chance to ask your biggest questions and go deep into the text that’s shaped many odern Stoics.
