Epictetus
The Enchiridion or Manual of Epictetus is a short manual of Stoic ethical advice from the 2nd-century Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus. The focus is on applying philosophy in daily life. The primary theme is that one should accept what happens. The Enchiridion, along with the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius and Seneca's Letters From A Stoic, is one of three key texts from which the modern world knows Stoicism.

"The translated writings of Epictetus and his thoughts on Stoicism. This isn’t the exact version I read but wasn’t able to find. I read one translated by George Long. With a lot of these older writings, it can be hard to find one you can easily digest but I enjoyed this version. Although we don’t all need to be Stoics, talking about what a “good life” is should be discussed much more often."

"A fantastic guide to stoicism. Easily digestable to even those who don’t commonly read philisophy."
