It delves into five key Stoic practices drawn from Epictetus' Enchiridion. These are: 1. the dichotomy of control 2. depersonalizing problems 3. paying tranquility's price 4. valuing your will (prohairesis) 5. and picking up the right handle For each of these practices we: look at the relevant passage/passages from the Enchiridion; discuss the basic concepts or ideas involved in the practice; point out ways beginners can get mixed up about this; examine examples Epictetus provides; look at some contemporary examples of our own; engage in some Q&A and discussion about that exercise If you'd like to support my work producing videos like this, become a Patreon supporter!
