The Girl Who Would Be Free: A Fable About Epictetus

A great read, it only took 10-15 minutes to go through as it is a kids' book. Yet I found myself lingering on pages and enjoying the art and timeless quotes written here.

“How you do anything is how you do everything. Her father would say. And if you do it well it can be beautiful, no matter what it is.”

“Every situation has two handles, Musonius explained, we can grab the one that empowers us or the one that doesn't. We can see the obstacle or the opportunity.”

These books on stoicism get me to reexamine what I do and work to improve inner landscape and in doing so the outer world improves as well.
