The Enchiridion

Epictetus, c. 125

Short read, under 50 pagesFree to read online

A freed slave's handbook: know what is up to you, and let the rest go.

Talk about it

  1. What is up to you and what isn't? Where did you find that line hardest to draw?
  2. Does "let the rest go" make people calmer, or just more passive?
  3. Which rule would be easiest to start using tomorrow, and which would be hardest?

Questions we wrote from what the book covers. They don’t give away the plot. How we pick. For more, try our questions for any book.
