Epictetus, Discourses - Subjecting One's Desires To Other People - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Epictetus's work, the Discourses. Specifically it examines his discussions of making one's own desires subject to other people - a bad idea from a Stoic perspective. Doing so makes one's own happiness or tranquility dependent upon the desires, actions, choices, or beliefs of other people.
