Have you read or listened to this work? I've been thinking about it today and I'd like to have a discussion on it. For those of you who haven't heard or read this work, here are some links to audio and text:

For those of you who may have read or listened to it what were some of the more impactful portions?

Do you find yourself going back to it/recalling certain sections?

Are there any things that Epictetus brings forward that you disagree with?

Epictetos is one of my favorites as well! Haven't read all of the Enchiridion, but I read his Discourses, which is also great.
“Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.” -Zhuangzi

“Though, as the crusade presses on, I find myself altogether incapable of staying here in saftey while others shed their blood for such a noble and just cause. For surely must the Almighty be with us even in the sundering of our nation. Our fight is for freedom, for liberty, and for all the principles upon which that aforementioned nation was built.” - Patrick “Madman of Galway” O'Dell
