Stoic Foundations
Marcus Aurelius, Seneca & Epictetus · 2023
🎙 Narrated by James Anderson Foster
This is your one-stop shelf of the Stoic greats — Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus bundled together with a smart introduction from a respected modern Stoic scholar. It's dense, ancient prose, so don't expect breezy listening, but it's a genuinely solid way in if you want the source material instead of someone else's paraphrase. James Anderson Foster's narration is measured and clear, which helps a lot with material this heady.
