This second installment of our exclusive three-part series with Shi Heng Yi explores the enduring teachings of the Greek philosopher Epictetus, once a slave, who chose to enlighten others with his philosophy of control and freedom. William and Shi Heng Yi delve into the core stoic principles outlined in the Enchiridion, discussing the illusion of fear, and how the awareness of what we can control versus what we cannot shapes our reality and peace of mind.
We examine how Epictetus’s ideas resonate with both stoic and Eastern philosophies, emphasizing the importance of focusing on our internal motivations rather than external factors. This discussion not only bridges historical and philosophical gaps but also offers practical advice for modern listeners seeking tranquility and resilience in their lives.
Shi Heng Yi also shares insights on the transformative power of facing fears and the concept of fear as an illusion. This enlightening conversation is not just a philosophical discourse but also a guide on how to live a life of purpose, free from unnecessary fears and focused on what truly matters.
