    A profound and thought-provoking book. Epictetus’s teachings offer a valuable perspective on life and how to live it well.

  2. Shreyash Shekhar

    I struggled with the philosophical concepts at first, but persevered. Glad I did. Some brilliant advice, but takes effort to digest.

  3. Urja Parmar

    While insightful, the translation felt a bit clunky in some areas. Still a valuable read for those interested in Stoicism.

  4. Prasoon Kumar

    Epictetus’s wisdom shines through. I found myself highlighting passages constantly. A bit repetitive in places, but the core message is powerful.

  5. Pratham Ahuja

    Not a bad book, but I had trouble connecting with the writing style. The concepts were interesting, but difficult to fully grasp.

  6. Anwesha Biswas

    I enjoyed learning about Stoicism. Some parts were challenging, and other were truly inspiring. Worth exploring.

    Excellent introduction to Stoic philosophy. The selected writings offer a good overview of Epictetus’s main ideas.

    A good introduction to Stoicism, but the language felt a bit dense at times. Some passages were truly insightful. Overall, worth the read!

    This is a pretty interesting book and would recommend it for a casual read for most readers.

    This translation is well done and easy to understand. The teachings are thought-provoking, but not always applicable to modern life. Still a classic!

  13. Harsh Raj

    A life-changing book! Epictetus’s words resonated deeply with me. Highly recommend for anyone seeking inner peace and self-improvement.

  14. Aditi Bansal

    A classic for a reason. Epictetus offers timeless wisdom on how to live a virtuous and fulfilling life.
