This is a digital guide. You will receive an email with a link to log into the course website.

Epictetus urged his students not to admire wisdom, but to embody it. He didn’t care how much you knew. He cared what you did.

You may not control your health, your wealth, your reputation, or your circumstances. But you do control your mind, your will, your ability to choose how you respond to what happens.

That was the freedom Epictetus discovered. That was the freedom he taught. And it’s that freedom—the one that cannot be taken away—that we’re here to learn how to pursue for ourselves in reading Discourses.

Like a book club or an annotated version of your favorite book, our How to Read Epictetus Guide is designed to give you context, fill in the blanks, and illustrate how to apply the wisdom Epictetus conveys to improve your own life. Whether you’re brand new to Stoicism or ready to finally dive deeper into this philosophy, this course is designed to equip you with the very best tools and wisdom Stoicism has to offer straight from the best example of its virtues.
