Discourses, Enchiridion & Selected Writings

What if real freedom began where control ends?

Epictetus didn't write books-his words were captured by a student. But his philosophy continues to resonate through the centuries.

In Discourses and the Enchiridion (his manual for life), he teaches that external events are beyond our command, but our inner life is ours alone to master.

This modern edition presents Epictetus's ideas with directness and clarity, perfect for readers seeking timeless wisdom on resilience, virtue, and self-discipline.

What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:
