He emphasizes the importance of maintaining inner peace and tranquility in the face of adversity, and encourages readers to cultivate virtues such as wisdom, courage, and justice.
Epictetus, a former slave turned philosopher, is known for his practical teachings on how to live a virtuous life.

Epictetus teaches that true freedom comes from within, and that we have the power to control our thoughts, emotions, and actions. He emphasizes the importance of living in accordance with nature, accepting what is beyond our control, and focusing on what is within our power to change.
Seneca works also give practical wisdom to use on everyday life.
these three works provide a comprehensive guide to living a life of virtue, wisdom, and resilience.
