Art of Living by Epictetus
Epictetus observed that although everyday life is fraught with difficulty, a life of virtue is within reach. By putting into practice the 93 witty, wise, and razor-sharp instructions, this work helps readers learn to gracefully meet the challenges of everyday life as well as life's inevitable major losses and disappointments.
"A treasury of eternally good advice, wise as a grandfather, earthy as the Tao" -- Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart "The message of Epictetus is as vital today as it ever was." -- Jacob Needleman, author of The Heart of Philosophy "Epictetus sounds like the Buddha, and Sharon Lebell's voice makes him sound like the delightful man next door." -- Sylvia Boorstein, author of It's Easier Than You Think
Epictetus (circa 55-135 ce) taught in Rome until the year 94 ce, when Emperor Domitian banished philosophers from the city. In exile, he established a school of philosophy where his distinguished students included Marcus Aurelius, author of Meditations. Some 1,863 years after Epictetus's death, Tom Wolfe revived his philosophy in the bestselling novel A Man in Full. Sharon Lebell is a philosophical writer and musician who lives in Northern California. She also produced Epictetus's A Manual for Living.
