Synopsis "the art of living,the classical mannual on virtue, happiness, and effectiveness"

Epictetus was born into slavery about 55 ce in the eastern outreaches of the Roman Empire. Once freed, he established an influential school of Stoic philosophy, stressing that human beings cannot control life, only their responses to it. By putting into practice the ninety-three witty, wise, and razor-sharp instructions that make up The Art of Living, readers learn to meet the challenges of everyday life successfully and to face life's inevitable losses and disappointments with grace.

Epictetus, or Epictetus, (in Greek: Επίκτητος [Epíktētos], ‘acquired’; Hierapolis, 55-Nicopolis, 135) was a Greek philosopher from the Stoic school who lived part of his life as a slave in Rome. As far as is known, he left no written works, but his teachings survive in an Enchiridion (Ἐγχειρίδιον) or Manual and his Discourses (Διατριβαί), both written by his disciple Flavius Arrian, as well as some fragments.
