In today's hectic world where American culture rewards us for living to work instead of the other way around, terms like 'epicurean' have become a bad word. This is partially because people don't understand what the Epicurean philosophical principles really were. It's also due to people believing that trying to actually relax and enjoy yourself is somehow a sign of laziness.

This book provides a nice overview into Epicurean philosophy and history. Recommended for everyone who wants to learn the truth about this concept. It might just inspire you to live a better, more enjoyable life.

It’s a nice way to think and be well and live a life that is rewarding. I always think about the negative things associated with being epicurean and then about the finer things thanks to the magazine. This is like the epicureans got a good marketing program to highlight what is good about it.

I like the book and the shift in perspective that I had.

This is one of the best books I have read so far this year. I thought it would be more self help, but it is more non fiction history and philosophy. Very accessible and an enjoyable read
