Handbook of Epictetus

The Handbook of Epictetus, or Enchiridion, is a compilation of Stoic ethical advice by Arrian from the Discourses of Epictetus.

It emphasizes the distinction between things within one's control and those that are not, advising readers to focus on their own actions, desires, and opinions.

The book provides practical guidance on how to achieve mental freedom and happiness by accepting what is outside of one's control and living in accordance with nature.

It has been influential since its compilation in the early 2nd century and remains a significant work in Stoic philosophy.
