Detailed information

Explore the ancient Stoic way of thinking and the valuable lessons it holds for contemporary life

This new volume contains the Enchiridion and selected Discourses of the great Stoic philosopher Epictetus, who believed that moral philosophy should be a practical guide to leading a better life. His works offer timeless instruction on how to live authentically, “in accordance with nature”. Like other prominent Stoic thinkers Seneca and Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus teaches us to attain self-mastery through the use of reason and virtuous living. In this striking addition to the Capstone Classics series, you can discover—or rediscover—the renowned Greek philosopher's guide to living the best life possible. Epictetus teaches that personal power and peace of mind are your birthright.

Epictetus focused on maintaining discipline in matters that are under our control, and letting go of matters that are not. The key to improving oneself is to learn what is ‘in one's power’, not judging as good or bad anything over which we have no sway. In this remarkably simple yet transformative worldview, we gain peace of mind and have a greater impact on the world.

  • Discover the practical moral philosophy of Epictetus, renowned Greek philosopher in the Stoic tradition
  • Gain solace and peace of mind from the Stoic message of letting go of what we cannot control
  • Learn the key messages of Epictetus in a new edition introduced by personal development author Tom Butler-Bowdon
  • Gain the keys to a virtuous, productive, and happy life

Whether you are formally studying philosophy or pursuing your own personal development, Selected Discourses - The Wisdom of Epictetus will make an excellent addition to your library.
