E-book: 24 Stoic Spiritual Exercises
Selections from Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius
Dear Reader,
Here is the fourth installment of my new series of free e-books based on essays that have appeared either here at Figs in Winter or at one of my previous blogs.
This new collection presents 24 spiritual exercises for regular Stoic practice, eleven taken from the writings of Epictetus (well, really, of Arrian, Epictetus’s student) and the remaining nice from Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations.
The idea is to provide both beginning and advanced proficientes (Seneca’s word for Stoic practitioners who make progress) with a range of practical exercises to choose from or alternate among in our joint quest to become better human beings.
Enjoy, and remember, Philosophia longa, vita brevis!
~Massimo Pigliucci
What would we do without you, Massimo! This is just what the Stoic doctor ordered! Thanks!
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to provide these e-books for us, Massimo. Much appreciated.
