Denostado, incomprendido, relegado durante siglos al olvido, Epicuro propuso con su filosofía un camino para alcanzar algo tan esquivo para sus contemporá- neos como lo sigue siendo para nosotros: la felicidad. Y lo hizo de una forma simple y coherente, alejándose a un tiempo de la búsqueda incesante del placer—empresa vana, con la que no logramos sino acrecentar más y más nuestros deseos—y del ascetismo extremo propio de doctrinas rígidas como el estoicismo.

Stoicism has a lot to offer that is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago—its guiding purpose was to help us to live better lives.

For centuries, Stoicism was the unofficial religion of the Roman world. The stress on endurance, self-restraint, and power of the will to withstand calamity can often seem cold-hearted. It is Epictetus, a lame former slave exiled by Emperor Domitian, who offers the most precise and humane version of Stoic ideals. The Discourses, assembled by his pupil Arrian, catch him in action, publicly setting out his views on ethical dilemmas. Enchiridion, or Manual, is a distillation of his teachings and an essential manual for those seeking contentment.
