Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness (Plus)

Description:

A modern translation of the philosophical classic—A necessary companion for a living a more present, intentional, and virtuous life—one full of gratitude for who we are and who we have yet to become

“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 is brought back to life in this stunning translation by Sharon Lebell, a philosophical writer and musician. A beloved teacher of Stoic Philosophy, 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 ways to happiness, fulfillment, and tranquility, and that advice comes to live in this brief, yet deeply impactful, book.

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 and morality. In this powerful guide to mindfulness and self-reflection, Epictetus provides practical wisdom on:

  • How the root of suffering isn’t actually life’s challenges, but how we react and respond to them
  • How the way we view others should mirror the way we view ourselves…with grace, empathy, and understanding
  • The ways that selfishness and self-centeredness cloud our judgements and impairs our ability to fully connect with others
  • How to focus inward to free yourself of the negative thoughts that cause anxiety, stress, and shame
  • How to lead with kindness and forgive ourselves, and others, time and time again—and emerge stronger as a result

Epictetus was born into slavery about 55 CE in the eastern outreaches of the Roman Empire, and despite all he endured, has become one of the most influential writers on attaining inner peace and joy. He brilliantly shows us the possibility of leading with both logic and emotion to emerge stronger and more self-aware though all of the waves life crashes on us.

Timeless, practical, and entirely unforgettable, this is a book you will reach for, and recommend, again and again. The perfect gift for anyone seeking a different path forward—one sure to be filled with more compassion, self-love, and appreciation for all the things that make us human.
