This guy changed my life. And he was recommended to me by none other than John Adams, our second president. Ok, not to me directly, but that's how I heard of him. I read McCullough's biography of Adams; Adams spoke highly of Epictetus, I got curious. Next thing you know, I'm a better man for it.
reading every thing in the original and not in translations.
I just started it. What a great book. McCullough makes you feel like you are actually there.
