Epictetus

Tom Wolfe’s bestseller A Man in Full brought this first-century sage to millions of readers. Now available in paperback, Sharon Lebell’s “lively, accessible” (USA Today) rendering of Epictetus’s classic teachings on virtous and happy living

“An immense dose of Epictetus would do us all a great deal of good, and I am grateful (beyond irony) to Tom Wolfe for reviving Epictetus” (Harold Bloom). So what makes the writings of this former slave so powerful today? Epictetus observed that although everyday life is fraught with difficulty, a life of virtue is within reach. He dedicated his life to outlining the simple way to happiness, fulfillment, and tranquility. By putting into practice the 93 witty, wise, and razor-sharp instructions that make up The Art of Living, readers learn to gracefully meet the challenges of everyday life as well as life’s inevitable major losses and disappointments.
