To extend my original reading list from my last thread here. I hear this text being recommended quite a lot. I know it's a Stoic bible. I've read some introductory philosophy including Nietzsche, Aquinas, Descartes, Dante, Socrates, I have Plato's Republic on my shelf to read at some point, and I've picked up some stuff from reading classics such as Iliad/Odyssey, Aeneid again on the shelf etc.
I am aware of the basic tenets of the Stoics, that one should focus on changing themselves (internal locus of control) and accepting reality for what it is then changing others or the world, and also to not waste time on fruitless negative emotions. Can anyone elaborate on them and this book's teachings?
