The Manual: A Philosopher's Guide to Life Review: "Philosophy is for living, not just learning."(Epictetus.The Manual: A Philosophers Guide To Life.6 - Epictetus makes some good points about how to live.It is obvious he did not just sit around and make things up.He writes as an observing reader. Think it through then act or think it through then do not act. But never react. Pretty good read. Certainly not a waste of time if you are thinking. Review: Excellent - Excellent, concise guide for living. Great introduction to writings of Epictetus, and to Stoic philosophy. Every maxim may not apply to all individuals, but regardless of personal beliefs, one will very likely find this guide adaptable/applicable to their daily mode of being. Many thanks to Sam Torode for putting this manual into clear, easy-to -understand language. It was a great quick read and I look forward to re-reading, as well as reading Book #2 in the series, 'The Meditations - A Philosophers Guide', and the authors' other translation of some classic works. Having these editions of these two books is great if you're anything like me and needed a more accessible version of the philosophy, esp. as a newbie to this arena of thought. Highly recommend. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #151,806 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #58 in Ancient Greek & Roman Philosophy #647 in Stress Management Self-Help #1,163 in Spiritual Self-Help (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,528) | | Dimensions | 5.25 x 0.17 x 8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1545461112 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1545461112 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 68 pages | | Publication date | May 11, 2017 | | Publisher | CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | ## Images ![The Manual: A Philosopher's Guide to Life - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81loL548GGS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Philosophy is for living, not just learning."

The author, Sam Torode, seems to have a good laymen's grasp of the text. Due to the Victorian language of most translations, they can be difficult to understand at first. Paraphrases like this one provide a useful commentary to help the reader understand an actual translation. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Manual: A Philosopher's Guide to Life - The Meditations: An Emperor's Guide to Mastery - Living from the Soul: The 7 Spiritual Principles of Ralph Waldo Emerson --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/45018959-the-manual-a-philosophers-guide-to-life](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/45018959-the-manual-a-philosophers-guide-to-life) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
