Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-255) and index."Epicurus, born at Samos, Greece, in 341 BC, and died at Athens in 270 BC, founded a school of philosophy in the ancient world which has little to do with the meanings that surround the word "Epicureanism" today and more to do with living a mindful, simple life, maximizing simple pleasures and minimizing pain, such as the irrational fear of death--"Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not." Epicurus did not believe that humans would be punished fortheir sins after death, and stressed the search for lasting pleasures during the life we have, such as tranquility, friendship, and philosophical inquiry. What is good is what is pleasurable and what is bad is what is painful. Epicurus was a prolific author, but very few of his writings have come down to us. Included in this collection, edited and translated by George K. Strodach, are a collection of observations that were preserved by the biographer of ancient philosophers, Diogenes Laertius, and threeimportant letters"--

The Jesus you need to know : how Jesus, Epicurus, and the modern science of happiness can change your life / by Rabb, R. Earle,author.(CARDINAL)590057;
Includes bibliography (pages 198-202)What is the secret of true happiness? Actually, the answer to that question has been with us for over 2,000 years and is readily available to us today. In this groundbreaking book, R. Earle Rabb explores the answer provided by the Greek philosopher Epicurus and the surprising impact of his message on the life and teachings of Jesus. He takes a fresh look at these two men who lived 300 years apart and examines how the message they taught got lost and the heavy price we have paid for that loss. The good news is that the message is still there. The author illuminates how the path to happiness and wellbeing they pioneered is confirmed by the modern Science of Happiness. In so doing, we find a path that leads each of us to real happiness and a more peaceful world.
