Ancient Greek & Roman Editorial Review
**** "Discourses and Selected Writings" presents an engaging introduction to the philosophies of Epictetus, one of the most prominent figures of Stoicism. Readers, particularly those new to Stoicism, express that the book offers profound insights that resonate with contemporary life challenges. The collection is anchored by the Enchiridion, a more concise handbook of Epictetus' teachings that prepares readers for the deeper exploration found in the Discourses. Many find this structure to be beneficial, advocating for an initial focus on the Enchiridion before transitioning to the more expansive Discourses. Reviewers appreciate not only the practicality of Epictetus' teachings but also the clarity and humor with which he imparts his wisdom, making it accessible for those unfamiliar with philosophical jargon. The writings encourage readers to view life’s adversities as opportunities for personal growth—as tests that can forge our character, much like a wrestler prepares for competition. This thought process has helped many adopt a more resilient and proactive attitude toward life's challenges. The translation is noted for its good quality, and readers feel that the pages enhance the overall reading experience. While some critique certain aspects of Stoic thought as imperfect, collectively, the feedback indicates that the book is highly regarded as a meaningful read that offers enduring life lessons and prompts meaningful reflection. Whether one fully embraces Stoicism or not, the insights provided are deemed worthy of time and Consideration. **
