A classic, to be sure. Epictetus' style still served as a model for "guide-books" 16+ centuries later. Two of my favorites from the second millenium which bear such influence are Thomas à Kempis' The Imitation of Christ (~1420) [1] and Lorenzo Scupoli's The Spiritual Combat (1589) [2], both classics in their own right.
