Lessons from Stoicism. Epicurus and the Art of Living Happily

What benefit can be gained from Stoic texts? Where did Stoic thought come from and how is it related to the scientific picture of the world of Antiquity? Why can't a true Stoic live in isolation from society? The book by the English philosopher John Sellars, "Lessons of Stoicism," not only answers all these questions, but also helps to look at life's vicissitudes differently, applying the advice of the Stoics in practice.

What was the real pleasure for Epicurus, who called for contentment with little and showed his students the way to spiritual serenity? Sellars talks about this in the book "Epicurus and the Art of Living Happily." It deals with the Epicurean teaching, which is based on atomistic theory and is designed to heal from anxiety and fear with the help of tetrapharmakos, "four medicines" - four life guidelines.

For everyone who loves to delve into the mysteries of the human mind with a book in their hands.
