About this book
Creators: Epictetus (55-135) and Thomas Wentworth Higginson (1823-1911) [Translator] "The Enchiridion" by Epictetus is a manual of Stoic ethical advice compiled in the early 2nd century by Arrian, a disciple of the Greek philosopher. This concise handbook distills practical precepts for achieving mental freedom and happiness in all circumstances. It teaches readers to distinguish between what lies within their control and what does not, emphasizing that judgments, not external events, disturb people. Through vivid imagery and everyday examples, the work guides students toward flourishing in both favorable and adverse situations by developing the capacities of the human spirit.
