Why You're Unhappy (according to Epictetus) | Einzelgänger

Why You're Unhappy (according to Epictetus) Yes, the enchanting, exciting outside world of pleasures we often deem interesting enough to pursue. So we desire what the world has to offer. But losing what we cling to hurts. Unfortunately, what we gain and lose is up to Fortune. So if we let our happiness depend on things that aren’t up to us, Fortune controls how we feel.#stoicism #epictetus #stoic Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5star for new episodes.
