Where can you find joy? Gain strength? How should we face our fears? Deal with the death of a loved one? And what about those reoccurring depressing thoughts? While traditional schooling doesn’t address such questions, it’s exactly what ancient schools of philosophy were all about: They taught you how to live. Even though these schools don’t exist anymore, you and I and most people are in as much need of a philosophy that guides us through life as we ever were. This compelling, highly actionable guide shows you how to deal more effectively with whatever life throws at you.

Story
"While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their images with sheer, almost irrational force, I've found that history is also made by individuals who fought their egos at every turn, who eschewed the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition." (From the prologue)

Story
Miyamoto Musashi (1584 - 1645) was arguably the greatest swordsman who ever lived, a legendary figure whose methods of thought and strategy have been studied and adopted across a wide spectrum of society, from martial artists to military leaders to captains of industry. The iconic sword saint of Japan was clearly a genius, yet he was also a functional psychopath - ruthless, fearless, hyper-focused, and utterly without conscience. Shortly before he died, Musashi wrote down his final thoughts about life for his favorite student Terao Magonojo to whom Go Rin No Sho, his famous Book of Five Rings, had also been dedicated.

Publisher's Summary
The Enchiridion or Handbook of Epictetus is a short manual of Stoic ethical advice compiled by Arrian, a 2nd-century disciple of the Greek philosopher Epictetus. Although the content is mostly derived from the Discourses of Epictetus, it is not a summary of the Discourses but rather a compilation of practical precepts. Eschewing metaphysics, Arrian focuses his attention on Epictetus's work applying philosophy to daily life. The book is thus a manual to show the way to achieve mental freedom and happiness in all circumstances. The Enchiridion appears to be a loosely-structured selection of maxims.
In his 6th-century Commentary, Simplicius divided the text into four distinct sections suggesting a graded approach to philosophy:
Chapters 1-21. What is up to us and not, and how to deal with external things:
1-2. What is up to us and not, and the consequences of choosing either.
3-14. How to deal with external things (reining the audience in from them).
15-21. How to use external things correctly and without disturbance.
Chapters 22-28. Advice for intermediate students:
22-25. The problems faced by intermediate students.
26-28. Miscellania: the common conceptions, badness, and shame.
Chapters 30-47. Technical advice for the discovery of appropriate actions (kath'konta):
30-33. Appropriate actions towards (a) other people, (b) God, (c) divination, (d) one's own self.
34-47. Miscellaneous precepts on justice (right actions).
Chapters 48-53. Conclusions on the practice of precepts:
48. Final advice and his division of types of people.
49-52. The practice of precepts.
53. Quotations for memorization.
