Epictetus' Discourses, compiled by his student Arrian, represent a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy. These teachings emphasize inner freedom, focusing on what we can control—our thoughts and actions—rather than external events. Epictetus's practical approach to living a virtuous life resonates with readers seeking guidance on managing emotions and navigating life's challenges. His emphasis on self-awareness and acceptance of what is beyond our control offers a path to inner peace and resilience. The Discourses remain a valuable resource for understanding and applying Stoic principles in daily life.

Meditations is a series of 12 books written by Marcus Aurelius as private notes to himself. The work is a reflection of Stoic philosophy, emphasizing the importance of living in the present, controlling one's judgments, and maintaining ethical principles. Aurelius advocates for focusing on what can be controlled, avoiding distractions, and cultivating a rational and clear-minded nature. The book is divided into 12 books, each chronicling different periods of his life, and was likely written during his military campaigns along the Danube River.
