The Enchiridion

The Enchiridion, written by the Stoic philosopher Epictetus, is a practical guide to living a good and resilient life. It focuses on understanding what is within our control—our thoughts, choices, and attitudes—and accepting what we cannot change, such as external events. By cultivating inner virtues like wisdom, courage, and self-control, we can maintain tranquility and integrity regardless of life's challenges. The text emphasizes mindfulness, personal responsibility, and a disciplined mindset to achieve inner peace and flourish amid adversity.
