The Discourses of Epictetus - Fragments - (My Narration & Notes) Vox Stoica 2021-05-19 | These are the fragmentary remains of books 5-8 of the Discourses of Epictetus. The Discourses are a series of informal lectures by the Stoic philosopher Epictetus written down by his pupil Arrian around 108 AD. Four books out of an original eight are still extant. The philosophy of Epictetus is intensely practical. He directs his students to focus attention on their opinions, anxieties, passions and desires, so that "they may never fail to get what they desire, nor fall into what they avoid." True education lies in learning to distinguish what is our own from what does not belong to us, and in learning to correctly assent or dissent to external impressions. The purpose of his teaching was to make people free and happy.This is my own recording and is not infringing on any copyright.Buy on Audible: geni.us/DiscoursesOnAudibleBook on Amazon: geni.us/DiscoursesOfEpictetus (affiliate link)My other recordings on Audible: geni.us/VoxStoicaOnAudibleListen free on Hoopla with a US library card: hoopladigital.com/artist/4396287904Translation by William Abbot Oldfather: en.wikisource.org/wiki/Epictetus,_the_Discourses_as_reported_by_Arrian,_the_Manual,_and_FragmentsTimings:Start - 0:00Chapters I-V: 0:02Chapters VI-X: 5:06Chapters XI-XX: 12:05Chapters XXI-XXVIII: 18:32Doubtful and Spurious Fragments XXIX-XXXVI: 24:55Support:Paypal: paypal.me/RobinHomerSOL: 9bWvNYSCHQLtfuC8K2oHyzHWrbxJ1QLTkJt1MGoZNrsnBTC: bc1qhxzrufgecpuaj9zu826jxlthgczt69ccze5vt2BCH: qzszhgmuw3tnx5jl6su73u4d8wku3h44egujdvsev7Travala Affiliate Link: https://www.travala.com?ref=robinhomer#Stoicism #Epictetus #PewdiepieBookReview
Musonius Rufus - Lectures & Fragments (My Narration & Notes) Vox Stoica 2021-05-04 | This is my own narration of Musonius Rufus' Lectures.Gaius Musonius Rufus was a Roman Stoic philosopher of the 1st century AD. He taught philosophy in Rome during the reign of Nero and so was sent into exile in 65 AD, returning to Rome only under Galba. He was allowed to stay in Rome when Vespasian banished all other philosophers from the city in 71 AD although he was eventually banished anyway, returning only after Vespasian's death. A collection of extracts from his lectures still survives. He is also remembered for being the teacher of Epictetus.It is unknown whether Musonius wrote anything for publication. His philosophical opinions were collected by two of his students. One collection of Discourses, by a certain Lucius, form the basis of the 21 lengthy extracts in this recording. A second collection was compiled by one Pollio; it has been lost, but some fragments survive which have been added on as an addendumTranslation: Cora E Lutz Book on Amazon: geni.us/MusoniusRufus (affiliate link)Read Online: stoictherapy.com/resources-lectures#fragmentsMy recordings on Audible: geni.us/VoxStoicaOnAudibleListen free on Hoopla with a US library card: hoopladigital.com/artist/4396287904Support:Paypal: paypal.me/RobinHomerSOL: 9bWvNYSCHQLtfuC8K2oHyzHWrbxJ1QLTkJt1MGoZNrsnBTC: bc1qhxzrufgecpuaj9zu826jxlthgczt69ccze5vt2BCH: qzszhgmuw3tnx5jl6su73u4d8wku3h44egujdvsev7Shortform is a fantastic app offering detailed yet concise book summaries.

Strangeness adds to the weight of calamities, and every mortal feels the greater pain as a result of that which also brings surprise”“Therefore, nothing ought to be unexpected by us. Our minds should be sent forward in advance to meet all problems, and we should consider, not what is wont to happen, but what can happen”“increases are of sluggish growth, but the way to ruin is rapid. Nothing, whether public or private, is stable”“We should therefore reflect upon all contingencies, and should fortify our minds against the evils which may possibly come. 8. Exile, the torture of disease, wars, shipwreck, – we must think on these”“let us summon to our minds beforehand, not as great an evil as oftentimes happens, but the very greatest evil that possibly can happen. We must reflect upon fortune fully and completely”“Let us rise, therefore, to confront the operations of Fortune, and whatever happens, let us have the assurance that it is not so great as rumour advertises it to be”“all the works of mortal man have been doomed to mortality, and in the midst of things which have been destined to die, we live!” 9:50“Cry out in anger if any unfair measures are taken with reference to you individually; but if this inevitable law is binding upon the highest and the lowest alike, be reconciled to fate, by which all things are dissolved” 12:09“What madness it is to be afraid of disrepute in the judgement of the disreputable”

Because this unseemly pursuit of the liberal arts makes men troublesome, wordy, tactless, self-satisfiedbores, who fail to learn the essentials just because they have learned the non-essentials.”“It is at the cost of a vast outlay of time and of vast discomfort to the ears of others that we win such praise as this: ‘What a learned man you are!’ Let us be content with this recommendation, less citified though it be: ‘What a good man you are!’“…think how much superfluous and unpractical matter the philosophers contain!

Even by the falling of water-drops a water-pot is filled; the wise man becomes full of good, even if he gather it little by little.Chapter XI: Old Ageedit156 Men who have not observed proper discipline, and have not gained treasure in their youth, lie, like broken bows, sighing after the past.Chapter XII: Selfedit158 Let each man direct himself first to what is proper, then let him teach others; thus a wise man will not suffer.163 Bad deeds, and deeds hurtful to ourselves, are easy to do; what is beneficial and good, that is very difficult to do.165 By oneself the evil is done, by oneself one suffers; by oneself evil is left undone, by oneself one is purified. Purity and impurity belong to oneself, no one can purify another.Chapter XV: Happinessedit197 Let us live happily then, not hating those who hate us! among men who hate us let us dwell free from hatred!Chapter XVI: Pleasureedit209 He who gives himself to vanity, and does not give himself to meditation, forgetting the real aim (of life) and grasping at pleasure, will in time envy him who has exerted himself in meditation.Chapter XVIII: Impurityedit252 The fault of others is easily perceived, but that of oneself is difficult to perceive; a man winnows his neighbour's faults like chaff, but his own fault he hides, as a cheat hides the bad die from the gambler.253 If a man looks after the faults of others, and is always inclined to be offended, his own passions will grow, and he is far from the destruction of passions.Chapter XX: The Wayedit280 He who does not rouse himself when it is time to rise, who, though young and strong, is full of sloth, whose will and thought are weak, that lazy and idle man will never find the way to knowledge.

Seneca: Of Consolation to Marcia Vox Stoica 2019-10-04 | Marcia actively mourned the death of her son Metilius for over three years. In his consolation, Seneca attempts to convince her that the fate of her son, while tragic, should not have been a surprise. She knew many other mothers who had lost their sons; why should she expect her own son to survive her? The acknowledgement, even expectation, of the worst of all possible outcomes is a tenet of Seneca's Stoic philosophy. While Seneca sympathised with Marcia, he reminded her that "we are born into a world of things which are all destined to die," and that if she could accept that no one is guaranteed a just life (that is, one in which sons always outlive their mothers), she could finally end her mourning and live the rest of her life in peace.Translated by Aubrey Stewart: en.wikisource.org/wiki/Of_Consolation:_To_Marcia(Note to YouTube: This is my own recording, it is not taken from anywhere else.

I retain the copyright)Notes:“It is better, however, to get no return than to confer no benefits.”“In order to discover one grateful person, it is worthwhile to maketrial of many ungrateful ones”“we weigh not the bulk of the gift, but the quality of the good-will which prompted it.”“I reckon a benefit at a higher rate than an injury”“…anyone who receives a benefit more gladly than he repays it is mistaken”“A man is an ingrate if he repays a favour without interest. Therefore, interest also should be allowed for, when you compare your receipts and your expenses.” “We should try by all means to be as grateful as possible. Forgratitude is a good thing for ourselves, in a sense in which justice, that is commonly supposed to concern other persons, is not; gratitude returns in large measure unto itself. There is not a man who, when he has benefited his neighbour, has not benefited himself, – I do not mean for the reason that he whom you have aided will desire to aid you…but that the reward for all the virtues lies in the virtues themselves” “Let us therefore avoid being ungrateful, not for the sake of others but for our own sakes. When we do wrong, only the least and lightest portion of it flows back upon our neighbour; the worst and, if I may use the term, the densest portion of it stays at home and troubles the owner”“The ungrateful man tortures and torments himself; he hates the gifts which he has accepted, because he must make a return for them, and he tries to belittle their value, but he really enlarges and exaggerates the injuries which he has received. And what is more wretched than a man who forgets his benefits and clings to his injuries”“He does not put a wrong construction upon everything, or seek for someone whom he may hold responsible for each happening; he rather ascribes even the sins of men to chance. He will not misinterpret a word or a look; he makes light of all mishaps by interpreting them in a generous way.”“We consider not what we have obtained, but what we are to seek”“For they are not praised because they ought to be desired, but they are desired because they have been praised; and when the error of individuals has once created error on the part of the public, then the public error goes on creating error on the part of individuals”

All that goes to make you a good man lies within yourself.”“If you wish to set a value on yourself, put away your money, your estates, your honours, and look into your own soul. At present, you are taking the word of others for what you are.”#Stoicism #Seneca #VoxStoica

I retain the copyright)Notes:“Nothing, my excellent Lucilius, refreshes and aids a sick man so much as the affection of his friends”“There is no sorrow in the world, when we have escaped from the fear of death”“a vision of dying has been many a man's salvation”“Therefore a high-minded and sensible man divorces soul from body, and dwells much with the better or divine part, and only as far as he must with this complaining and frail portion”“there is no bitterness in doing without that which you have ceased to desire.” “Pain is slight if opinion has added nothing to it…in thinking it slight, you will make it slight.”“Everything depends on opinion; ambition, luxury, greed, hark back to opinion. It is according to opinion that we suffer.”“A man is as wretched as he has convinced himself that he is. I hold that we should do away with complaint about past sufferings”“What benefit is there in reviewing past sufferings, and in being unhappy, just because once you were unhappy?”“that which was bitter to bear is pleasant to have borne”“Two elements must therefore be rooted out once for all, – the fear of future suffering, and the recollection of past suffering; since the latter no longer concerns me, and the former concerns me not yet.”“Perchance some day the memory of this sorrow, Will even bring delight.” (Virgil)“As it is, however, what most men do is to drag down upon their own heads a falling ruin which they ought to try to support”10:28 “What blows do athletes receive on their faces and all over their bodies! Nevertheless, through their desire for fame they endure every torture, and they undergo these things not only because they are fighting but in order to be able to fight. Their very training means torture.”“Do you think that you are doing nothing if you possess self-control in your illness? You will be showing that a disease can be overcome, or at any rate endured”“You have something to do: wrestle bravely with disease. If it shall compel you to nothing, beguile you to nothing, it is a notable example that you display”“Be your own spectator; seek your own applause.” “only idle leisure is wont to make men hate their lives”“any life must seem short to those who measure its length by pleasures which are empty and for that reason unbounded.” “Yield not to adversity; trust not to prosperity; keep before your eyes the full scope of Fortune's power, as if she would surely do whatever is in her power to do. That which has been long expected comes more gently”#Stoicism #Seneca #VoxStoica
Ultralearning - How to Rapidly Learn and Master New Skills - (SUMMARY) Vox Stoica 2019-07-26 | Scott Young incorporates the latest research about the most effective learning methods and the stories of other ultralearners like Ben Franklin, Judit Polgar, and Richard Feynman, as well as a host of others, such as little-known modern polymaths like Nigel Richards who won the World Championship of French Scrabble—without knowing French.Young documents the methods he and others have used and shows that, far from being an obscure skill limited to aggressive autodidacts, ultralearning is a powerful tool anyone can use to improve their career, studies, and life.

If, therefore, there can be no injury without evil, and no evil without baseness, and baseness cannot find any place with a man who is already filled with honour, it follows that no injury can reach the wise man”“the wise man can lose nothing. He has invested everything in himself, has entrusted nothing to fortune, has his property in safety, and is content with virtue, which does not need casual accessories, and therefore can neither be increased or diminished”“fortune does not give virtue; therefore she does not take it away. Virtue is free”“The wise man therefore can lose nothing of whose loss he will be sensible, for he is the property of virtue alone, from whom he never can be taken away. He enjoys all other things at the good pleasure of fortune; but who is grieved at the loss of what is not his own?”“What was being plundered and carried away hither and thither he did not consider to be his own, but to be merely things which come and go at the caprice of fortune; therefore he had not loved them as his own, for the possession of all things which come from without is slippery and insecure.”“no siege engines can be discovered which can shake a well-established mind”“what belongs to myself is with me, and ever will be”“it is possible for someone to do an injury to me, and yet for me not to receive it”“if we know that death is not an evil, and therefore is not an injury either, we shall much more easily endure the other things, such as losses, pains, disgraces, changes of abode, bereavements, and partings”“So far, however, is he from shrinking from the encounter either of circumstances or of men, that he makes use of injury itself to make trial of himself and test his own virtue”“bodily pain and weakness, the loss of friends and children, and the ruin of his country in war-time. I do not say that the wise man does not feel these, for we do not ascribe to him the hardness of stone or iron; there is no virtue but is conscious of its own endurance.”“In the same spirit in which we deal with boys, the wise man deals with all those whose childhood still endures after their youth is past and their hair is grey”“the wise man, therefore, is quite justified in treating the affronts which he receives from such men as jokes”“Seek out sufferings and all things hard to be borne, repulsive to be heard or seen”“We do not deny that it is an unpleasant thing to be beaten or struck, or to lose one of our limbs, but we say that none of these things are injuries. We do not take away from them the feeling of pain, but the name of ‘injury,’ which cannot be received while our virtue is unimpaired”“it is a sort of revenge to spoil a man's enjoyment of the insult he has offered to us;”“the success of an insult lies in the sensitiveness and rage of the victim”“Let wounded spirits, then, console themselves with this reflexion, that, even though our easy temper may have neglected to revenge itself, nevertheless that there will be someone who will punish the impertinent, proud, and insulting man, for these are vices which he never confines to one victim or one single offensive act.”“all things happen in a more endurable fashion to men who are prepared for them”“We ought not to engage in quarrels and wrangling; we ought to betake ourselves far away and to disregard everything of this kind which thoughtless people do (indeed thoughtless people alone do it), and to set equal value upon the honours and the reproaches of the mob; we ought not to be hurt by the one or to be pleased by the other”“freedom consists in raising one's mind superior to injuries and becoming a person whose pleasures come from himself alone”

If - Rudyard Kipling meets Stoicism Vox Stoica 2019-06-16 | Happy Father's DayIf you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much;If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!Support me here:SubscribeStar: subscribestar.com/intpworldPatreon: patreon.com/RobinHomerPaypal: paypal.me/RobinHomerBTC: bc1qcwzyyttaf6td6lgk8cmtcq2qkp0s5l2uwmuume BCH: qz4hhzc5mvklv25ntktza66s3sqfttsfnqpcfelkdwMy recordings on Audible: geni.us/VoxStoicaOnAudible#Stoicism #RudyardKipling #poems

Seneca: Of Leisure Vox Stoica 2019-05-03 | Of Leisure: a moral essay written by Seneca the Younger, a Roman Stoic philosopher, sometime around the year 49 AD, to his father-in-law Paulinus. The philosopher brings up many Stoic principles on the nature of time, namely that people waste much of it in meaningless pursuits. According to the essay, nature gives people enough time to do what is really important and the individual must allot it properly. In general, time is best used by living in the present moment in pursuit of the intentional, purposeful life.Support me here:SubscribeStar: subscribestar.com/intpworldPatreon: patreon.com/RobinHomerPaypal: paypal.me/RobinHomerBTC: bc1qcwzyyttaf6td6lgk8cmtcq2qkp0s5l2uwmuume BCH: qz4hhzc5mvklv25ntktza66s3sqfttsfnqpcfelkdwAll the Dialogues on Amazon: geni.us/SenecaDialogues (affiliate link)Read Online: en.wikisource.org/wiki/Of_LeisureStart: 0:00I: 0:21II: 3:30III: 4:25IV: 7:26V: 9:20VI: 14:42VII: 17:54VIII: 20:02Notes:“with leisure we can carry out that which we have once for all decided to be best, when there is no one to interfere with us and with the help of the mob pervert our as yet feeble judgment”“…the worst of our various ills is that we change our very vices, and so we have not even the advantage of dealing with a well-known form of evil: we take pleasure first in one and then in another, and are, besides, troubled by the fact that our opinions are not only wrong, but lightly formed; we toss as it were on waves, and clutch at one thing after another: we let go what we just now sought for, and strive to recover what we have let go. We oscillate between desire and remorse, for we depend entirely upon the opinions of others, and it is that which many people praise and seek after, not that which deserves to be praised and sought after, which we consider to be best” “If the state is so rotten as to be past helping, if evil has entire dominion over it, the wise man will not labour in vain or waste his strength in unprofitable efforts. Should he be deficient in influence or bodily strength, if the state refuse to submit to his guidance, if his health stand in the way, then he will not attempt a journey for which he is unfit”“The duty of a man is to be useful to his fellow-men; if possible, to be useful to many of them; failing this, to be useful to a few; failing this, to be useful to his neighbours, and, failing them, to himself”“…virtue placed in leisure without action is but an incomplete and feeble good thing, because she never displays what she has learned.”“if such a state as we have dreamed of cannot be found on earth, it follows that leisure is necessary for everyone, because the one thing which might be preferred to leisure is nowhere to be found”#Stoicism #Seneca #INTPWorld

There is no need to fasten a placard upon yourself with the words: "Philosopher and Quietist." "It is, however, a sort of vaunting to make too much of one's concealment and of one's withdrawal from the sight of men.""...ponder that which you come to feel is your greatest weakness""I do recommend retirement to you, but only that you may use it for greater and more beautiful activities than those which you have resigned..."#Stoicism #Seneca #Vox Stoica
