Stoic Happiness
In this discourse, Seneca clearly explains how to be happy. He warns us that following the crowd is no way to be happy. He then explains by what means we can expect to be happy. A small book with a lot of great ideas. https://amzn.to/2I0mbVW

THE COMPLETE WORKS OF EPICTETUS
A set of five indispensable books
Stoic Foundations (Discourses Book 1) explains the basic tenets of Stoicism.
Stoic Choices is the plain English version of Discourses Book 2. It revolves around themes of choice.
Stoic Training is the third book of Discourses of Epictetus in plain English. Stoics did not only believe in theoretical knowledge but held that it is critical we practice what we learned.
Stoic Freedom (Discourses Book 4) focuses on freedom. Personal freedom is close to Epictetus’ heart, and his rhetoric shines when he talks about freedom. But, what does a free person look like?
Stoic Inspirations includes a biography of Epictetus, the Enchiridion (Arrian’s summary of Epictetus’ teachings), the Golden Sayings and ‘fragments’ (quotes).

UNSHAKEABLE FREEDOM
“Just go and read it.” Donald Robertson
How can we achieve total personal freedom when we have so many obligations and so many demands on us? Is personal freedom even possible? Yes, said the Stoics & gave us a blue print for freedom. Dr Chakrapani brings their teachings to the digital era. You’ll “probably get through it in a few hours, enjoy the whole thing, and come away with an accurate and workable idea of Stoic philosophy. So please do just go and read it.” Donald Robertson.
