In our troubled world, looking back to ancient wisdom can shed light on fresh solutions.
For years, many of us have upheld the Stoic belief in 'no pain, no gain.' But when the pace of modern life and the demands of jobs and family overwhelm us, punishing exercise regimes, productivity apps and early morning starts may not be the best solution.
According to the pleasure-centric philosophy of Epicureanism, life can be good without great sacrifice. By consciously practicing 'choice and avoidance' by being strategic about our recreational, professional and familial pursuits we can live with less fear and regret. By understanding our place in a world that came about by chance, we can gain greater perspective on our role within it and where our priorities should lie.
No honest philosopher can give you a formula for happiness, but in The Pleasure Principle, Professor Catherine Wilson explores how Epicureanism can provide a framework for thinking about life's key issues, including family, death, politics, religion, wealth, science, and love.
The Pleasure Principle by Catherine Wilson is a top pick for those interested in the intersection of history, philosophy, and self-help. It explores the moral theory of Epicureanism, offering a fresh perspective on personal growth and social ethics.
For fans of Ryan Holiday (The Daily Stoic), John Sellars (The Fourfold Remedy), and Massimo Pigliucci (The Stoic Guide to a Happy Life).
