Nearly two thousand years ago, a former slave named Epictetus opened a school in Greece . . . and became the most famous Stoic philosophy teacher in the world. "The Urban Enchiridion" updates his simple, life-changing lessons with modern expressions and images, envisioning how Epictetus would have talked about Stoicism if he had lived in our contemporary times. Adapted by the author of Stoic fables like "The Stock Horse and the Stable Cat" and "A Dog Who Follows Gladly," this reworking of wisdom from Epictetus is a delightful look at how Stoicism can help you live a happier, more focused life.
