Books
Can humans achieve lasting pleasure without suffering anxiety about failure and loss? Epicurus thinks we can, at least once we learn to pursue pleasure of the right kinds in the right ways. 'Living for Pleasure' offers a lively, jargon-free account of how Epicureanism can help us make and keep good friends, prepare for suffering, combat imposter syndrome, build trust, recognize personal limitations, value truth, develop healthy attitudes towards money and success, manage political anxiety, cultivate gratitude, savour food and face death.
