An Enchiridion
of Epictetus
Book •
The Enchiridion, or Handbook, is a concise manual of practical ethics by the Stoic philosopher Epictetus.
Compiled by his student Arrian around 135 AD, it summarizes Epictetus's teachings on how to achieve inner peace and live in accordance with nature.
The text emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between what is within our control (thoughts, attitudes, and intentions) and what is not (external events, possessions, and the actions of others).
By focusing on virtue and accepting what we cannot change, Epictetus argues that we can attain tranquility and freedom from suffering.
The Enchiridion remains a valuable guide to Stoic philosophy, offering timeless wisdom for navigating life's challenges with reason and resilience.
