Best SNES' RPG ever!

Hey! Marcus wrote for himself, Meditations are a collection of phrases and notes he wrote on his diary.
It can be a good start as it may help you perceive and understand yourself.

Epictetus taught on the streets and his lessons are more about life in society, good and bad things, how we could behave to avoid bad thoughts and pain caused by our reactions.

I'd recommend starting with Marcus Aurelius. Anyway take care of yourself, too will find peace too.

Hey Pluto! Didn't mean to lecture you at all, sorry If it sounded like that. English is not my mother language. I've reading and practicing Stoicism for 3 years now and I started it while fighting depression. It helped me understand others and myself, to keep calm even when my days were dark and full of negative thoughts.

I know how our mental health is essential and there is no shame to talk about it. If you ever need someone to vent or share something, feel free to PM me. Sometimes the people around us have no empathy or the sensibility to understand our pain.

If you don't mind, I would like to suggest these two books

Enchiridion of Epictetus And MEDITATIONS: BY MARCUS AURELIUS

Epictetus was a slave while Marcus was a Roman Emperor. Both had the same philosophy about the things in life, even with all the differences and circumstances.

Because the mindset here is not this BS coaches want you to believe. The mindset that Stoicism presents is that you should not give things the control over you. If something bad happens, figure out if is something you can do to solve/repair/fix/improve. If there is a solution, calm down and don't let it ruin your day/life. There is nothing you can? Well, don't let it ruin your day/life too. It may be hard to believe, but how we react is more important than what happened. Understanding it requires maturity.

If you have the chance, try reading about Epictetus and his lessons. He lived about 2000 years ago in a complete different society, but his teachings still relevant, mostly because people behave the same despite the time and advancements we have.
