概要
What Epictetus Knew That Makes Your Anxiety Irrelevant

When a layoff, betrayal, or diagnosis feels like the universe aimed at you, Stoic practice offers a surprising alternative: treat the event like rain-an external fact, not a verdict on your worth. What if the only thing you actually own in those moments is how you respond?

In this episode, we trace Stoicism from Zeno’s shipwreck to Epictetus’s teachings and Marcus Aurelius’s private reflections, showing concrete habits for staying whole inside difficulty. How can the Stoic question "which part of this is mine to control?" change what you do next?

Person: Zeno of Citium
Person: Epictetus
Person: Marcus Aurelius
Period: around 300 BCE

- Zeno lost his cargo when his ship sank and arrived in Athens with nothing but his mind.
- Zeno began teaching in the Stoa Poikile, giving his followers the name "Stoics."
- Epictetus was born a slave and owned by Nero’s secretary Epaphroditus.
- Marcus Aurelius governed roughly eighty million people while a plague was killing millions.
- Epictetus’s name in Greek means something close to "acquired," reflecting his status as someone who had been owned.
