Note from Sam Torode: This is a completely re written version of my 2017 book, The Manual: A Philosopher's Guide to Life. The earlier translation is still available, but I prefer this one, which is more conversational and contemporary. A Fresh New Edition of The ManualEpictetus (c. 50 135 CE) was brought as a slave to Rome, where he became a great teacher. His philosophy, called Stoicism, was practical, not theoretical aimed at relieving suffering here and now.And Epictetus knew suffering. Besides being a former slave, he was lame in one leg and walked with a crutch. Later in life, he was exiled to Greece by Emperor Domitian. Turning these obstacles to his advantage, Epictetus learned that lasting peace and happiness can only come from within.The Manualis a collection of Epictetus' essential teachings. It points the way to inner harmony and freedom, through all of life's storms and stresses.This 21st Century Edition, paraphrased by Sam Torode, was created with high school and college
