5.0
I just recently and kind of by accident got into ancient philosophy, and by chance the first philosopher I really learned about was Epictetus.
He won me over & became my #1 fave philosopher with this quote:
“If anyone tells you that a certain person speaks ill of you, do not make excuses about what is said of you but answer, "He was ignorant of my other faults, else he would not have mentioned these alone.”
- & otherwise, the rest of the book was well spoken, informative, and intelligent. I definitley feel like I'm a bit of a better (or at least wiser) individual after reading it.
My only complaint? It's too short for me.
