Books by Epictetus mentioned on podcasts
Epictetus's ancient Stoic teachings were explored in depth across various podcast episodes. On The Daily Stoic, Ryan Holiday cited the Discourses to support the theme of hard winter training, and later highlighted how the text makes readers feel personally addressed and called out. Holiday also mentioned on The Joe Rogan Experience that Theodore Roosevelt carried a copy of Epictetus's work during his expedition described in River of Doubt. Gad Saad shared on the same show how independently arriving at thoughts similar to those of Epictetus 2000 years ago connected him with the philosopher. The Enchiridion was discussed by Massimo Pigliucci on Modern Wisdom as a source for journaling exercises and as a historical training manual used by Christian monks during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Furthermore, Karen Duffy discussed on The Daily Stoic how Marcus Aurelius expressed deep gratitude to his teacher Rusticus for lending him a copy of Epictetus from his library.
