A review by christospanayi
Manuel d'Épictète by Epictetus
4.0
Felt like reading the OG of self help books. I don't know how I feel about the translation/retelling. I am glad that the manual is presented in a clear, simple and modern way but at the same time it read more like a bite size self help book you would find in an airport rather than a philosophy book. That being said, if the language were complicated and unnecessarily cumbersome I would have not read it at all.
I have encountered most of these ideas before and I am happy for the refresh. I would recommend to anyone really but at the same time I would caution them that this book does not really provide the space or framework for deep learning and lasting changes. It rather provides some useful information and insight.
