Allow me to express my gratitude for taking the time to do all the work required in creating and posting this. I listen to these videos almost everyday.

I certainly hope, as I'm sure others do as well, that you post more of these "stoic audiobooks". Thank you.

Cool but you know in modern times we think in probabilities. That is, I can increase the chances of having a good reputation by wearing proper attire, doing my homework, etc. So to varying extent some things that are supposedly out of control are somewhat in. How do you figure that?

[infokemp]

Brilliant!

I think the charm of this guy's readings are the uneven intonation; after having watched most of the marcus aurelius videos, I find his voice soothing and reminds me of beauitiful philosophy! thank you!

[zcaramouche]

I recommend reading Letters from a Stoic also. Penguin Classics Edition.

Epictetus is straight forward, simple, pratical, and excellent!

[notonewhit]

A generous reading. Thanks. You've made my ipod listening enjoyable.

Thanks for posting this.

Epictetus instructing on how to be a prudent slave and have a good time doing it. Surprisingly, I find Marcus Aurelius a little more relevant. I wander if there are any stoic commentaries for a middle class types?

[tanit]

Seneca. Seneca's letters are written for the modern equivalent of the middle class-man. The lost works of Panaetius were probably in a similar vein as well.

[didate]

Thanks for the info, I'll check him out.

[tanit]

Penguin Classics edition ftw.

epictetus...such an underrated thinker of history. Was himself a slave. Great ideas, especially for his times

Epictetus (to my notion - one of the best - words of wisdom). Nice Job. Quite an undertaking, and a worthy effort. KUDOS!! Thank you. 5tars!

Excellent post, thankyou very much for this treasure. So much that echoes into later thinkers, particularly the striking resemblances to Spinoza.

Not overly impressed with the quality of narration however, I found it rather uneven in intonation and rhythm.

[tanit]

Yeah - the first half I recorded in one sitting, while tired, and the second half in the morning. I don't think its so horrible that I need to re-record it though.

You can do better? Have at it!
