The Encheiridion and Discourses

Born into slavery in the first century AD, Epictetus emerged as a prominent Greek philosopher of the Stoic school, spending much of his life in Rome until his exile to Nicopolis in Greece by Emperor Domitian. His teachings were captured by his student Arrian in the Discourses and the Encheiridion, the latter being a concise summary of Stoic principles emphasizing self-examination and practical living. This audiobook explores the profound insights of Stoic philosophy, reflecting on its application in everyday life.
