Born a Slave, Built an Inner Empire: Epictetus's Question

著者：
A man born into slavery around the year 50 CE became the teacher emperors and presidents would turn to, and his words survived two thousand years without him ever writing a line. What did he teach that turned legal property into an inner authority that guided Marcus Aurelius, Theodore Roosevelt, and Admiral James Stockdale?
In this episode, we follow Epictetus’s life from slavery to legendary teacher, trace the spread of his ideas across two millennia, and ask the same question he asked his students: "In what have you improved?" How does that question reshape how you respond to the things you cannot control?
Person: Epictetus
Date: born around 50 CE
