Art of Living

Book • 125

This book presents Epictetus's teachings in a modern and accessible way, focusing on the ninety-three instructions that make up 'The Art of Living'.

It stresses the importance of distinguishing between what is within one's control and what is not, and offers practical advice on meeting everyday challenges and facing life's inevitable losses with grace.

The book is based on Epictetus's original works, 'The Discourses' and 'Enchiridion', and is interpreted by Sharon Lebell to capture the essence of Stoic philosophy for a contemporary audience.
