I had read a book by Epictetus some years ago. Liked it. Forget the book name now. It was about living simply, not getting overly affected (mentally or emotionally) by circumstances or things that happen to you, and a lot more stuff along those lines, and other things too. Basically Stoicism, I suppose, though I've not looked up the term in detail. I also like this quote by him which I read long ago: "Practice yourself, for heaven's sake, in little things, and thence proceed to greater." http://philosiblog.com/2013/06/06/practice-yourself-for-heavens-sake-in-little-things-and-then-proceed-to-greater/ http://philosiblog.com/2013/06/06/practice-yourself-for-heav... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epictetus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epictetus https://dailystoic.com/epictetus/ https://dailystoic.com/epictetus/ The Stockdale Paradox is also interesting. Stockdale was influenced by Epictetus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Stockdale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Stockdale
