A review by ahart1
Manuel d'Épictète by Epictetus

5.0

This book should be read by everyone for the perspective it gives on life and how it should be lived. This collection of ideas by Epictetus are wonderful and well interpreted. Although these ideas are not the whole sum of his attitude toward life, it does show exactly how he feels by instructing the reader to do as he does This book is not just something you read and leave alone, it provokes thought and encourages the change of lifestyle. With each section labeled clearly it can be skimmed through in certain areas if the reader is looking for advice on a particular part of life. The book was wonderful to read since the tone was a very calm and felt transcendental. You find his ideas overlap into more than one section of the book because Epictetus applies certain values to many daily situations and wordly outcomes. I recommend this book as a thought provoking read that will clear the busy mind and soothe the worries.
