🌟📜 Welcome to Chillbooks, where timeless wisdom is delivered with calm narration and full on-screen text.

These brief but powerful sayings are ideal for both deep study and casual meditation.🌟 About EpictetusEpictetus (c. 55 – 135 CE) was born a slave, became a philosopher, and left behind a legacy of moral clarity and strength.
