About this audiobook

The Enchiridion is one of the most influential works of Stoic philosophy, offering a concise and practical guide to self-discipline, inner freedom, emotional resilience, and moral clarity. At the center of its teaching is a simple but powerful distinction: some things are within our control, while others are not. By learning to focus on judgment, intention, character, and action, the listener is invited to cultivate a steadier and freer way of living. Attributed to the teachings of Epictetus and compiled by his student Arrian, this classic text presents philosophy not as theory, but as a daily practice. Its reflections address desire, fear, loss, reputation, adversity, duty, and the pursuit of virtue. Direct, austere, and deeply practical, The Enchiridion remains a foundational text for anyone interested in Stoicism, personal discipline, ethical living, and the search for peace of mind.
