  The Enchiridion

  Epictetus

  "Some things are up to us, and some things are not up to us."
  
  With this single, revolutionary sentence, Epictetus unlocks the secret to an invincible life. The Enchiridion is a collection of 53 short, punchy lessons designed to strip away the anxiety, anger, and grief that come from trying to control the uncontrollable. As a former slave who rose to become one of Rome's most respected teachers, Epictetus speaks with the authority of someone who truly understands hardship. He teaches that our happiness depends not on what happens to us, but on how we interpret what happens. This book is a tactical manual for the soul, providing the psychological armor needed to navigate a world of uncertainty with dignity and calm.
  
  The Power of Perception: Epictetus famously argues that "men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them." The Enchiridion provides the mental exercises necessary to reframe setbacks—from a broken cup to the loss of a job—as opportunities to practice virtue and maintain your "ruling faculty."
  
  The Disciplines of Desire and Action: The handbook outlines how to align your desires with reality. By training yourself to want only what is within your control, you become immune to disappointment. Epictetus guides the reader toward the role of the "cosmopolitan"—a citizen of the world who acts with social duty while remaining internally detached from the outcome.
  
  Why It Is a Global Masterpiece: The Enchiridion has been the bedside companion of emperors, generals, and modern-day leaders for two millennia. From Marcus Aurelius to Admiral James Stockdale in a POW camp, its "no-excuses" approach to personal responsibility and emotional freedom has saved countless minds from despair. It is the shortest path to a life of tranquility.

  Olivia Chadwick—a young mother and self-critical personal trainer—first met insurance magnate Garnet Morris at 6 am on a winter morning in Saskatoon, Canada. Chadwick's task was to help prepare Morris for the grueling,100-mile Kananaskis relay, but she had reservations—about his coachability as well as her ability to reach him while juggling her own professional, familial and maternal struggles. 
  Through mutual hesitations, their seasons-long training schedule led to profound and unexpected conversations. As it turned out, the coach needed coaching on self-esteem and self-forgiveness—as well as someone to believe in her as she rebuilt her own strength. 
   In 17 Runs, co-authors Chadwick and Morris chart the course of their unique camaraderie around initial differences and toward mutual transformation. Through their challenging push-pull, they tell a story that’s a testament to the renewing power friendship can have on our lives, businesses and ability to love. 
  Full of entrepreneurial wisdom on overcoming limitations, 17 Runs is a self-development story like no other. By turns motivational, amusing and heart-breaking, it is a must-read for anyone who needs coaching on how to run toward a life they truly choose.

  Alternative History of Britain...

  Taking a similar approach to his successful If Rome Hadn't Fallen, Timothy Venning explores the various decision points in a fascinating period of British history and the alternative paths that it might have taken. 
   
   
   
  Dr. Timothy Venning starts within an outline of the process by which much of Britain came to be settled by Germanic tribes after the end of Roman rule, as far as it can be determined from the sparse and fragmentary sources. He then moves on to discuss a series of scenarios, which might have altered the course of subsequent history dramatically. For example, was a reconquest by the native British ever a possibility (under 'Arthur' or someone else)? Which of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms might have united England sooner and would this have kept the Danes out? And, of course, what if Harold Godwinson had won at Hastings? 
   
   
   
  While necessarily speculative, all the scenarios are discussed within the framework of a deep understanding of the major driving forces, tensions and trends that shaped British history and help to shed light upon them. In so doing they help the listener to understand why things panned out as they did, as well as what might have been.
