The Enchiridion

Epictetus

Sinossi

"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.

Tough Country - Tall tales of...

Mike Bellamy

Tall tales of bushmen, bulldozers and back-country blokes 
  
'It was the mid-1970s and I was about eight, I thought it was completely normal for your old man to pull out a high-powered deer-hunting rifle and fire it through the kitchen door from the breakfast table...' 
In the 1970s and 80s, Barry Bellamy was a fair old bushman, traversing the back-country from Hawke's Bay to the far north in a blue ex-airforce Land Rover. His son Mike would join him as he took up work, wherever he could get it. Tough Country is Mike's story, about a bygone era of bushmen, scrub-cutters, hunters and shepherds. Later, Mike forged his own life working on the land, and his stories of the characters of the 1980s and 90s, from tradies to digger-drivers, are as hilarious as they are quintessentially Kiwi.
