Overview
A lo largo de la historia, algunos libros han cambiado el mundo. Han transformado la manera en que nos vemos a nosotros mismos y a los demás. Han inspirado el debate, la discordia, la guerra y la revolución. Han iluminado, indignado, provocado y consolado. Han enriquecido vidas, y también las han destruido. Taurus publica las obras de los grandes pensadores, pioneros, radicales y visionarios cuyas ideas sacudieron la civilización y nos impulsaron a ser quienes somos.
¿Cómo podemos ser felices y libres a pesar de las vicisitudes de la vida? En esta obra maestra del pensamiento estoico, también conocida como Enquiridión, Epicteto nos invita a centrarnos en controlar solo lo que dependa de nosotros y aceptar lo que venga de fuera. Basándose en ejemplos prácticos y cotidianos, el libro condensa los principios del estoicismo, la corriente filosófica que busca la tranquilidad del espíritu, de la que, junto con Marco Aurelio y Séneca, Epicteto es el máximo representante.
