“Don't just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents."

― Epictetus, The Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness and Effectiveness (Translation by Sharon Lebell)

It is incredibly similar, in fact, I hope to some day soon write a bit about the similarities and differences.

I've personally found learning about Stoicism has changed (enhanced?) my understanding of Sikhi.
