Book excerpt: A series of extracts from the teachings of an ancient Greek stoic philosopher, as written down by his pupil c. 108 AD. Captured by his student Arian, the discourses of Epictetus, along with his Encheiridion, or “manual,” are brought to life with the humor and conversational tone the ancient stoic philosopher used to bring his ideas to the widest audience possible. With wisdom on how to live a life of integrity, self-management, and personal freedom, Epictetus draws on the well of stoicism to offer virtues and values that have proven influential throughout Western history.
