Closing out The Enchiridion

The long and short of The Enchiridion is that it's a (translation) of a summary of someone else's lectures. On the whole, it's mostly good advice, but it's all filtered however much and doesn't necessarily have a lot of depth. The main question, in terms of rating/inclusion, is if there's a better short/historic Stoic intro. Meditations is coming up and could fill a similar niche. I'm going to give it a very tentative 3/5. Good enough to include, but not mind blowing, and we'll see where it goes from there. I'll close out with my favorite section:
