A concise manual of Stoic wisdom, The Encheiridion presents a collection of short, practical maxims drawn from the teachings of Epictetus.
Focusing on the essential distinction between what lies within our power and what does not, known as the dichotomy of control, Epictetus teaches that virtue is the only true good. He argues that life's difficulties are not obstacles but opportunities to cultivate self-discipline, rational judgment, and moral strength.
Epictetus (c. 50-135 AD) was a former slave who became one of the most influential teachers of philosophy in ancient Rome. His most famous pupil, Arrian, studied under him as a young man and produced The Encheiridion based on notes taken from Epictetus' lectures, preserving his spoken teachings.
Practical in tone and focused on everyday life, this volume remains a timeless guide to resilience, self-mastery, and ethical living--a perfect volume for those seeking clarity and profound change through Stoic philosophy.
