The Hellenistic philosopher Epicurus on great deal on happiness
The Hellenistic philosopher Epicurus focused a great deal on happiness- Epicurus
argued we achieve happiness through three things:
Friends, not necessarily numerous friends, but close friends
Freedom, including freedom from financial worries
Living an analyzed life
Epicurus said that what keeps us from happiness is the materialism pushed on us by
advertising, the constant desire for more that can never be achieved-
Do you think Epicurus was right? Should we, over 2,000 years after Epicurus lived, add
anything to his list?
