The Encheiridion of Epictetus is a philosophical work by the Greek philosopher Epictetus, which was first published in 1881. The book is a collection of Epictetus' teachings and aphorisms, which were compiled by his student Arrian. The Encheiridion, which means ""handbook"" in Greek, is a concise guide to Stoic philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of self-control, rationality, and the acceptance of fate. The book is divided into 53 sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Stoic philosophy. Some of the key themes covered in the Encheiridion include the nature of the universe, the importance of virtue, the role of reason, and the concept of freedom.
