The Discourses of Epictetus - Book 3 - (My Narration & Notes)

This is my narration of The Discourses of Epictetus

The Discourses of Epictetus are a series of informal lectures by the Stoic philosopher Epictetus written down by his pupil Arrian around 108 AD. Four books out of an original eight are still extant. The philosophy of Epictetus is intensely practical. He directs his students to focus attention on their opinions, anxieties, passions and desires, so that "they may never fail to get what they desire, nor fall into what they avoid." True education lies in learning to distinguish what is our own from what does not belong to us, and in learning to correctly assent or dissent to external impressions. The purpose of his teaching was to make people free and happy.

This is my own recording of Book 3/4 of The Discourses of Epictetus.

This video left me in tears at how much richer this world is than I had thought it was for a long time

[lynntrovert]

Thank you; your voice (and meter, etc) are literally the best at this. Thank you for putting this out there. I listen to them through once or twice and then I also queue one up for sleep every night. I really appreciate these.

[SERGE_Tech]

I’m on my 3rd listen, discourses are among my favorite. I think your channel saved my life and many more to come. Keep them coming anyway you can. If you can expand your team, as long as it’s in the right way.

[SERGE_Tech]

your voice over has perfect volume, passing and some dynamic voice acting. I can’t believe how much better your getting every single upload. Just a plain joy to listen to. Especially when you do different persona helps with the immersion.

[sahamal_savu]

I carry this book with me everywhere and this is the best reading I've heard of it, thank you for all your hard work.

[idrisabdi]

Appreciate your work I have benefitted more than anyone

[jeanvaljean]

A very sincere "Thank you!" Robin. As Lynntropy said, your voice and your narration are perfect for these readings. I can never separate Seneca, Epictetus or Marcus Aurelius from you, and I am very grateful you're doing this since I listen to it from start to finish. Keep it up!

[mvuyisogqwaru]

Thank you so much for this work you do bro. Its one thing having information out there, but having it packaged in the way you do is priceless!

[rjones]

WAO!!!! began with Emperor to his Memoirs countless I can appreciate furthering my Stoic as I see it, Stoic Practice = Spiritual Practice = Practice of Principles in all our affairs. Why??? I enjoy as much Peace/Calm as possible how to live as well as possible with people.

[project-unifiedfreepeoples]

I would like to offer you, my sincerest gratitude. Many of individuals could greatly benefit researching our brothers and sisters, of yesteryear. Morality, courage, conquest, the drive to make the world around us all greater for all peoples. I won't even manifest the energy drain the world is in today. I prefer whilst in good company, to sip the coffee and share the bread and honey in fellowship. Exchanging ideas and stories and sharing moments of endeavor. I appreciate the feelings you unlock with your passionately writ story. Be well and stay within the light of your greatness. Perhaps as to elevate those who dwell around you awaiting to stiffle your ambitions and penmanship, ready to correct your research with their Google endorsed ideas. I have subscribed and look forward to future amazing content. Thank you again.

[jamesaldrinc.pamposa]

Thank you for this fantastic reading of the discourses!

[NotJonJost]

More than even in the previous books, I just feel sad for Epictetus that he was so traumatized by his upbringing as a slave that he made the practice of dissociation so central to his philosophy.Chapters 17, 22, and 24 are really awful about it. It really is nothing but heartless to say that someone who has experienced some kind of misery and misfortune is only mistaken in their understanding of providence and what is really good, or else they would simply choose to be happy. It seems just like Epictetus's upbringing as a slave affected him so badly that he built up his ideas to cope.

In my own copy I have written "Slave mentality :c" in the margins countless times.

[richardsrensen]

i just want you to know Robin that its a true pleasure to read your book A Summary of The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius i hope its not the last time you will write a book

[livejay]

Why is Mark from Peep Show narrating this?
I suppose it's much better than if it were Jeremy!

And thank you, it sounds phenomenal.

Note to self:
@2:10:27
Epictetus predicts the future like Steve Jobs.
