The Enchiridion of Epictetus is a small handbook of Stoic moral instruction compiled by Arrian, a disciple of the Greek philosopher Epictetus in the 2nd century. Although the content is largely derived from the Speech, of Epictetus, it is not a summary of the Speech but a compilation of actual precepts. Avoiding metaphysics, Arrian focused his attention on Epictetus' application of philosophy to everyday life. Therefore, the book is a guide to showing the way to spiritual freedom and happiness in all circumstances.
By : Epictetus (c. 55 - c. 135)
