Epiktetos föddes en slav, och blev en av de mest inflytelserika stoiska filosoferna. Stoicism är attityden att de frigöra sig från onödigt lidande till följd av farhågor om händelser utanför vår kontroll; Därför kan det vara oerhört viktigt i ens liv. Enligt Epiktetos, våra egna handlingar och attityder är det enda i vår makt; vad som än händer, måste vi undersöka lugnt och opartiskt, eftersom det inte kommer att förändra mängden lidande effekterna av externa händelser.

Epictetus werd geboren een slaaf, en werd een van de meest invloedrijke stoïcijnse filosofen. Stoïcisme is de houding zodat men zich te bevrijden van het onnodige lijden dat voortvloeit uit angst over de gebeurtenissen die buiten onze controle; daarom kan het van enorm belang zijn in iemands leven. Volgens Epictetus, onze eigen daden en houdingen zijn het enige wat in onze macht; wat er ook gebeurt, moeten we rustig en onpartijdig te onderzoeken, omdat er geen bedrag van het lijden van de invloed van externe gebeurtenissen zal veranderen.

The Enchiridion or Handbook of Epictetus is a short manual of Stoic ethical advice compiled by Arrian, a 2nd-century disciple of the Greek philosopher Epictetus. Although the content is mostly derived from the Discourses of Epictetus, it is not a summary of the Discourses but rather a compilation of practical precepts. Eschewing metaphysics, Arrian focuses his attention on Epictetus's work applying philosophy to daily life. The book is thus a manual to show the way to achieve mental freedom and happiness in all circumstances.

This small handbook of the theory and practice of Stoic philosophy has become one of the most influential of all texts from the ancient world. It has been a source of inspiration to rulers, philosophers, and social theorists, and its cogent prescriptions about the management of one's personal life can be applied with great benefit in the hectic and confused world of today.

The Enchiridion and Discourses is a compilation of Epictetus's philosophical teachings. Although Epictetus spent much of his life as a slave, he believed that all people were free to control their emotional well-being and live in harmony with their circumstance and those around them. His works are a guide for applying philosophy to day-to-day living. Although many of the great philosophers, such as Plato and Aristotle, promoted grand ideas, they never approached the subject of integrating those ideas into everyday life.

For centuries, Stoicism was the unofficial religion of the Roman world. The stress on endurance, self-restraint, and power of the will to withstand calamity can often seem cold-hearted. It is Epictetus, a lame former slave exiled by Emperor Domitian, who offers the most precise and humane version of Stoic ideals. The Discourses, assembled by his pupil Arrian, catch him in action, publicly setting out his views on ethical dilemmas. Enchiridion, or Manual, is a distillation of his teachings and an essential manual for those seeking contentment.
