《If You Don't Live for Yourself, You Will Live for Others》 Written by Epictetus│Translated by Noh Yun-gi│Page2Books ☞ Book Information https://www.aladin.co.kr/shop/wproduc... If you don't know 'these 3 things' even after you're over 40, you'll definitely regret it. First, a person's life must go all the way. Originally, life is about making sudden leaps and then suddenly falling, so there's no need to be too envious of your current success, nor is there any need to be too discouraged by your current failure. You just have to live humbly, step by step, at your own pace and speed. Second, all unhappiness in relationships comes from expectations. Don't expect anything from anyone, whether they're close or far away. The more people want, the more corrupt they become, and the more their expectations are met, the bigger they become. The opposite of expectations is not ignorance, but 'respect'. The joy of human relationships begins with 'respect'. Third, if a person doesn't move, they rot. Having a lot of distracting thoughts is a sign that it's time to move. If you don't respond to this signal, either your body or your mind will rot. Get up and move your body often. Most worries and concerns are excreted with sweat. The book I'm introducing today is "If you don't live for yourself, you will live for others." The above famous quote is a sentence from Epictetus, the greatest sage who was a mentor to great philosophers such as Kant, Nietzsche, and Schopenhauer. Although his sentence was written thousands of years ago, it still gives us a strong resonance and enlightenment. The reason is that even after thousands of years, living for 'myself' is by no means easy. This book, which has inspired countless people for 2,000 years, is evaluated as a classic that contains immutable truths that can be applied to life, beyond a simple theoretical philosophy book. #Epictetus #Stoic philosophy #Western philosophy #Bookreading woman #Audiobook #Bookreading for me #koreanaudiobook
