Lydia Serrant at Classical Wisdom.
"Greek philosopher Epicurus (341 – 270BC) recognized the suffering within himself and his fellow men and women. He established the Epicurean school of philosophy that promoted the Art of Simple Living.
"Epicureanism went on to become one of the most influential philosophies in ancient times. It is known mostly for the Forty Principle Doctrines – a guide for how to live the happiest possible life.
"However, if reading through 40 doctrines seems too overwhelming, or you’re just short on time, the Tetrapharmakos a.k.a 'The Four-Part Remedy' is a great place for any budding Epicureanist or happiness seeker to start!"
