This is the shortest book I've ever read that changed my life.
It's "The Enchiridion" By Epictetus. Epictetus is one of the most important Stoics in history. He was a philosopher and slave. However, although he was a slave, he was more free than most rulers.
Here is the craziest part. Marcus Aurelius, the guy I cite daily, was emperor of Rome while Epictetus was a slave in Rome.
Both practiced the same philophy and wrote about the same things. Both had the same human challenges. Both knew that power and freedom comes from within and that only things that you can control can be moral or immoral.
A philophy practiced by emperors and slaves alike. Study stoicism.
