What Did Epicurus Teach Us?

In this video, we explore the wisdom of Epicurus, the Greek philosopher who founded Epicureanism. Epicurus believed that true pleasure and happiness could only be attained through a life of simplicity, moderation, and virtue, and that we should overcome the fear of death by focusing on living a good life in the present moment. He also emphasized the importance of living a simple and frugal life, avoiding excessive desires and material possessions, and cultivating meaningful connections with others based on mutual respect, trust, and affection. Epicurus believed in the power of emotions, desires, reason, self-awareness, knowledge, and wisdom, and his philosophy of Epicureanism influenced science, society, physical health, diet, exercise, rest, sleep, conventional wisdom, authority, values, beliefs, forgiveness, compassion, pain, and pleasure. Join us to learn more about Epicurus and his life lessons that are still relevant today.
