I've been reading an interesting little book, It a a new
interpretation of the stoic philosopher Epictetus's works
"Discourses" and "Enchiridion" by Sharon LeBell called "The Art Of
Living." ISBN 0-06-251332-2.
I've been walking around with it in my pocket since I bought it.
The best self-improvement book I've read.
The works of Epictetus are available on line for free, and I would
also recomend the "Meditations" of Marcus Aurelius (a student of
Epictetus) also available online.
The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius:

Epictetus, the Discourses:
http://classics.mit.edu/Epictetus/discourses.html
Epictetus, The Enchiridion
http://classics.mit.edu/Epictetus/epicench.html
Is Epictetus Extropian? I vote Yes!
Max?
