Epictetus's Enchiridion is a collection of Stoic principles intended to guide the reader toward a life of virtue and freedom from suffering. The work focuses on distinguishing what is within our control (our opinions, desires, and actions) from what is not (external circumstances, possessions, and reputations). Epictetus argues that true happiness lies in aligning our will with nature, accepting what we cannot change, and focusing on what we can control. He further emphasizes the importance of resisting outward appearances, embracing reason, and practicing self-discipline. Through various examples and reflections, Epictetus encourages the reader to cultivate a mindset of tranquility and resilience, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
