  The Moral Sayings of Publius Syrus, A Roman Slave is a collection of proverbs and aphorisms pulled from the many mimes and plays of Publius Syrus. Enslaved by the Romans in his youth, this witty man went on to conquer the Roman stage. These maxims, believed to have been collected in the 1st century AD, are all that remain of the great playwright’s work. Born in Syria in the 1st century BC, Publius Syrus was enslaved and brought to Rome by an army officer after the Romans conquered his native country. It was in Rome that he was given the name of Syrus, for his place of origin. He was then around 12 years old.This soldier had a patron who was delighted with the boy and requested that the soldier give Syrus to him. The soldier complied. Syrus’ new master found the boy witty and bright and was often entertained with his commentary. With such promise, the master provided Syrus with an education and later freed him. Syrus was immensely grateful and remained friends with his former master for the rest of his life. He took the surname Publius, which was probably the surname of his master.Newly free, Syrus traveled to Italy and began composing mimes—comical farces often used to “represent the failings and eccentricities of the higher classes, and the vulgar language and solecisms of the lower.” This combination of humor and moralism was widely popular among the Romans of the time, and Syrus earned great acclaim as a poet and actor. None of the great master’s plays have survived the ensuing centuries. But fortunately, many of his pithy maxims were collected from his plays, probably in the 1st century AD, and gathered into a single volume. This collection was translated from the Latin and first published in 1856.Included among the 1,087 proverbs are some that appear to be the foundation—or at least an early version—of sayings we still use today. While additional context regarding these quotes would be useful, they still have value on their own. These 1,087 proverbs

  Break Free From What Holds You Back 
  Ever felt trapped by your own mind? Like your thoughts are quicksand pulling you deeper the more you struggle? You're not alone. 
  This audiobook speaks to anyone who knows what it's like when anxiety takes the wheel or when memories hijack your peace. It's for people who've tried "just thinking positive" and found it doesn't touch the real issues. 
  What you'll get: 
  •	Real talk about a therapy approach that doesn't promise to eliminate your difficult thoughts, but shows you something better - how to live fully even with them 
  •	A straightforward way to figure out what actually matters to you (not what you think should matter) 
  •	Specific help for OCD and PTSD that goes beyond the standard advice 
  •	Simple practices you can actually fit into your life 
  Who needs this: 
  •	If you're tired of being ruled by "what if" thoughts that spiral out of control 
  •	If traumatic experiences still color your world years later 
  •	If you've built your life around avoiding discomfort, only to find your world getting smaller 
  •	If therapy has helped but you want tools for the spaces between sessions 
  •	If you work in mental health and want fresh perspectives for your clients 
  The techniques shared here come from real clinical work with real people. They're explained in everyday language with examples that might make you think, "that's exactly how it feels." 
  Listen while driving, doing dishes, or before sleep. The beauty of these approaches is they don't require perfect focus or hours of meditation. Small shifts add up. Little moments of awareness create space for change. 
  This audiobook doesn't promise to fix you, because you're not broken. It offers a way to stop fighting yourself and start moving toward the life you want - even with uncertainty, even with difficult feelings, even with an imperfect mind.
