In this video, we provide an overview of the key teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus that remain deeply relevant today. We explore how Epictetus' emphasis on letting go of attachment leads to inner freedom and resilience, even in the face of adversity.
Epictetus realized over 2000 years ago that it's easy in our busy modern lives to become stressed by chasing things outside our control. He offered practical wisdom on focusing inwardly instead. We summarize his central tenet of differentiating between what we can and cannot control.
By accepting this dichotomy, we can avoid suffering caused by clinging to external things. We outline specific Stoic principles and techniques Epictetus recommended to live virtuously with equanimity, such as letting go of possessions, not depending on others' opinions, accepting rather than resisting reality, focusing on integrity, being present in the moment, taking a higher perspective, and cultivating courage.
