Summary

The Good Life Handbook is a rendering of Enchiridion in plain English. It is a concise summary of the teachings of Epictetus, as transcribed and later summarized by his student Flavius Arrian.

The handbook is a guide to the good life. It answers the question, "How can we be good and live free and happy, no matter what else is happening around us?"

Ancient Stoics lived in a time of turmoil under difficult conditions. So, the solutions they found to living free were tested under very stringent conditions. For example, the author of this handbook was a lame slave who made himself free and happy later in life by following the principles set out in this audiobook.

Now The Stoic Gym offers The Good Life Handbook by Dr Chuck Chakrapani to interested listeners.

Very short and couldn't take narrator seriously

The adolescent sounding voice grated on me. The quality of the material deserved someone that could speak with more gravitas.

Great Book

loved it. The narrator could have been a little slower as the content needs processing
