The Enchiridion (or "The Handbook") is a brief, practical guide to Stoic philosophy, emphasizing self-discipline, inner peace, and the distinction between what is within our control and what is not. Compiled from Epictetus' teachings, this timeless work offers advice on how to live a life of virtue and resilience, making it relevant even today.
Epictetus (c. 55 – 135 AD) was a Greek Stoic philosopher, born a slave and later freed, who became one of the most influential thinkers of his time. He focused on practical ethics, teaching that true freedom comes from controlling one's thoughts and actions, rather than external circumstances. His teachings were compiled by his student Arrian into The Discourses and The Enchiridion.
