    Forgive my ignorance, as someone new to Stoicism, in general, but does "The Complete Works: Handbook, Discourses, and Fragments'" include "The Enchiridion"? When I click the link for "The Enchiridion - Epictetus", it brings me to the former. If not, should I read "The Enchiridion" first, and, if so, which translation? Thanks.

    Hey rayn, I am not a very long reader but started reading a 6 month ago. I got a question in my mind , what if the writer's view about a particular thing is wrong than it's reality? How could we differentiate that? Please let me know if you have already covered this in any previous videos.... I know I don't have that experience or intelligence to doubt a writer but this question resist me from reading something new and get thoughts like what if this one change my attitude (wrong) towards the problem (if the writer is wrong). Really seek a reply from you. Thanks a lot Sir ❤

    Thank you for this. I'm fairly new to stoicism. I've watched several videos but would prefer reading books.
    I find it humorous that I have to listen to you talk about meditations and stuff at .75 speed. 😅 And maybe I'm just old, but I find the constantly changing video, (editing cuts?) agitating. In fairness, I also find other channels on stoicism to have annoyances!

    To implement a single advice well is a thousand times better than to know a thousand advises but not imply them. The amount of information in a brain doesn’t make a wise man rather the amount of information practically applied makes a wise man.
    Also: My recommendations are Bhagwat gita and works of Muhammad Iqbal( Urdu/Persian). You can read the Quran or Guru Granth Sahib Ji if you wish for spiritual and philosophical advice.

      I first read Seneca, unlike other roman stoics, Aurelius and Epictetus he wrote for a public. So he is the easiest to start with. After that I read Marcus Aurelius and then everything of Epictetus (written by one of his students, he didn't write himself). I like Epictetus the most, because he seems to be the most pure to me (coming from slavery and being a poor guy unlike Seneca and Marcus). He also is funny to read because he can rant a bit :)
