The Philosophy of Epicurus : Finding Happiness in a Material World

What does it mean to live a good life? Centuries before modern debates on happiness and well-being, Epicurus offered a radical answer—true happiness comes not from wealth, power, or indulgence, but from simple pleasures, meaningful friendships, and freedom from fear.

The Philosophy of Epicurus explores the wisdom of one of history’s most misunderstood thinkers. Far from promoting hedonism as excess, Epicurus taught that pleasure is best found in balance, self-sufficiency, and an untroubled mind. This book delves into his core teachings, from his views on gods and death to his ideas on ethics, desire, and the pursuit of tranquility.

With insights from ancient texts and modern interpretations, this book brings Epicurus’ timeless lessons into today’s world, offering a guide to finding fulfillment in an age of materialism and uncertainty. His philosophy may be ancient, but its relevance has never been greater.
