Being Happy
'It is impossible to live the pleasant life without also living sensibly, nobly and justly'
The ancient Greek philosopher and teacher Epicurus argued that pleasure — not sensual hedonism, but the absence of pain or fear — is the highest goal of life. His hugely influential lessons on happiness are a call to appreciate the joy of being alive.
