Epictetus believed that the primary job of philosophy is to help ordinary people effectively meet the challenges of everyday life, and to deal with life's inevitable losses, disappointments and griefs. His prescription for the good life centered on three main themes--mastering our desires, performing our duties, and learning to think clearly about ourselves and our relations within the larger community of humanity.
