The Enchiridion
About this book
Peace begins when you learn to distinguish between what you can control and what you cannot.
Discover The Enchiridion, the concise and influential Stoic handbook associated with the Greek philosopher Epictetus.
The work presents practical principles for dealing with adversity, desire, fear, relationships, responsibility, and the challenges of everyday life. At its heart is the Stoic distinction between things within our control and things beyond it—a principle that encourages greater self-discipline and emotional resilience.
Rather than promising a life without difficulties, Epictetus teaches readers how to develop a wiser response to circumstances they cannot change.
Compiled from the teachings of Epictetus by his student Arrian, The Enchiridion has remained an influential introduction to Stoic philosophy for centuries.
Explore Epictetus's timeless wisdom on self-mastery, resilience, freedom, and the art of living well.
