This is an invited talk given on a new platform, Lighthall (currently in beta). 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
