>>	Anonymous Thu Jun 9 12:42:25 2016 No.8144175 >>8144137 Yeah but which ones are actually worthwhile >>8144162 thanks

>>	Anonymous Thu Jun 9 12:57:36 2016 No.8144210 Meditations by Marcus Aurelius Most of Seneca's work is great

>>	Anonymous Thu Jun 9 13:04:09 2016 No.8144232 Meditations and Letters from a Stoic are good. Discourses is quite good as well, but I'd recommend Meditations as a primer.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jun 9 13:16:03 2016 No.8144273 >>8143965 Stoicism is terrible. Quite literally the philosophy for letting yourself get cucked by fate and circumstance.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jun 9 13:27:06 2016 No.8144318 >>8144273 like i said, it's not for me >>8144210 >>8144232 Is Meditations entry-level, or more in-depth? It seems good, but I'm looking for something challenging... does it fit the bill?

>>	Anonymous Thu Jun 9 13:51:13 2016 No.8144386 >>8144318 entry level, get oxfords translation of epictetus. it has the ecnhiridion and everything else by him

>>	Anonymous Thu Jun 9 17:04:35 2016 No.8144997 >>8144273 How? Are you saying you should worry about things you can't change? Cause that sounds retarded

>>	Anonymous Thu Jun 9 17:09:03 2016 No.8145008 >>8144273 Not really. Aurelius himself talks about the principles of action and justice in human affairs and that which he can change, and to embrace his fate of that which he cannot.
