decent coverage of the stoic philosophy

pretty good narrator considering it was probably not a real person, good wide ranging coverage or stoic philosophy

Good book

I enjoyed listening to this fine book of philosophy. I would tecommend it. The discussion of stoicism was interesting.

Epictetus Made Practical!!!!

As someone who values philosophy not just as theory but as a way of life, this book hit home. Tiwari distills the teachings of Epictetus into something deeply relevant, practical, and surprisingly modern. It’s not just a summary of Stoic ideas — it’s a guide to living better.

What I appreciated most is how the author balances simplicity with depth. You don’t need to have read the Discourses or Enchiridion to understand what Epictetus was about. Tiwari breaks down core Stoic concepts — like focusing on what you can control, mastering your thoughts, and aligning your life with reason — in a way that feels doable in today’s fast, noisy world.

The narrator does a great job too. The tone is calm but clear, and it really helps you absorb the ideas. I found myself rewinding certain sections just to hear them again.

If you're into self-mastery, emotional resilience, or just trying to live a more intentional life, this book is a solid listen. Think of it as a Stoic coach in your pocket.

Highly recommended for anyone feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or distracted — this book brings you back to what really matters.

Better AI voice than usual

I appreciate the voice of this AI read book. The sound reminds me of the Headspace teacher Kessonga.

An understandable primer

To me, a philosophy neophyte, this is a clear, well-stated, and relatively simple explanation of stoicism. Clearly this is a primer, not a deep dive into this philosophy. It raises as many if not more questions than it answers, but it’s a great start.
