Enchiridion

Epictetus, born into slavery and facing a permanent disability, emphasized the importance of personal freedom and living in harmony with nature. He believed happiness comes from accepting reality as it is. After gaining his freedom, he dedicated his life to teaching philosophy and self-examination. His teachings were compiled by his student Arrianus into the Enchiridion, a practical guide for achieving tranquility and contentment. This work provides valuable insights for anyone seeking to improve their life and mindset. Translated by George Long.
