About this episode

<p>We study philosophy to learn how to protect this real estate between our ears—and you could argue there's no better teacher than Epictetus.</p><br><p>💡 We designed our<a href="http://dailystoic.com/ecourse" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> <em>How To Read Epictetus (A Daily Stoic Guide)</em></a><em> </em>as a personal field guide —part book club, part masterclass, part daily practice. It’s designed to help you not just read the words of Epictetus, but live them—to turn his timeless wisdom into real change in your own life and the lives of those around you.</p><br><p>And if you get the guide before July 26th, you’ll receive a private invitation to an exclusive LIVE Q&amp;A with Ryan Holiday, where he’ll go deep on all things Epictetus, Stoicism, and how to apply these ideas right now, in today’s world.
