Stoic Foundations

Stoic Foundations is the plain English version of Discourses Book 1 by the eminent Stoic philosopher Epictetus. It revolves around 10 themes which are also repeated in other places throughout Discourses. These are: * Concern yourself with only what is in your power Be content to let things happen as they do Your thinking, not the externals, drives your behavior Do not place value on external things Don't give in to your anger or animal instincts You can handle anything; always act your best Learn to think properly and logically Practice, not knowledge, results in progress Only you can make you happyDr. Chuck Chakrapani has been a long-term, but embarrassingly inconsistent practitioner of Stoicism. He is the president of Leger Analytics and a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Ryerson University
