Public interest in re-discovering ancient practical wisdom continues to rise, primarily on the back of Stoicism. Epicureanism, invented by the original Greek rockstar, Epicurus, overlaps with Stoicism and offers a more fun way of getting the same results. EPICURUS AND THE ART OF HAPPINESS draws on contemporary science and psychology to present an accessible, fun, yet philosophically rigorous explanation of the philosophy, addressing how to live a good life; how to seek pleasure and not get sick of it; how to find self-sufficiency and adopt a 'less is more' mentality without having to feel like you're giving something up! It asks important questions about the essential components of sustainably good living and how we can identify unnecessary distractions from our overall wellbeing. The book is peppered with Epicurean-esque recipes so you will know exactly where to start to live the best kind of life.
