Description

For two thousand years, the Enchiridion has been a pocket guide to living with clarity and courage. Epictetus, a former slave turned philosopher, distilled Stoic wisdom into a series of sharp, practical precepts that speak directly to the challenges of everyday life. This modern-English edition renders his teachings in clear, contemporary language while preserving the force and elegance of the original. You will learn to distinguish what is up to you from what is not, to meet adversity with composure, and to act with integrity in every role life presents. Whether you are new to Stoicism or returning to a classic, this book offers a timeless toolkit for resilience and peace of mind. Part of The Modern Wisdom Library.
