    I should turn Epictetus's sayings into a self-help book.

It's been done. Well, an attempt at reviving stoicism has, anyway. I was given Tad Brennan's book as a gift a couple of years ago, but haven't gotten around to reading it. Reddit was pretty excited about William Irving's for a while after an interview with him got posted. It looks like some of them maintained their interest.
