#epictetus:"It is not what happens to you that upsets you, it is your judgment of what happens to you that upsets you." Epictetus (55 AD – c. 135 AD)

Decoded: Epictetus is basically saying life throws curveballs, but it's all about how you swing at them. You can't control everything, but you can control how you react. Emotional control!

Epictetus: The Kick-Butt Life Coach of Ancient Rome (55-135 CE)
Imagine a former slave turned philosopher who taught people how to be happy despite whatever life throws at them. That was Epictetus, a dude from ancient Rome who wasn't afraid to tell it like it is.

Epictetus wasn't your average toga-wearing dude. He believed happiness comes from focusing on the things you can control (your attitude, actions) and letting go of the stuff you can't (other people, bad weather). Kind of like a life coach, but way harsher (and probably more entertaining).

His philosophy, Stoicism, is all about emotional resilience and inner peace. It's basically training your mind to be like a superhero – unfazed by life's little annoyances (traffic jams) and major meltdowns (breakups).

Epictetus' ideas are still relevant today. He's basically the godfather of mental toughness. So next time you're feeling stressed, remember Epictetus, the ancient Roman who taught us to take control of our happiness and be our own life coach (minus the toga).
