The Fourfold Remedy

The Fourfold Remedy introduces Epicurus's practical philosophy for a happy life, focusing on his tetrapharmakos: don't fear god, don't worry about death, what is good is easy to get, and what is terrible is easy to endure.

John Sellars presents Epicurus's ideas as accessible remedies for modern anxieties, drawing on ancient texts to show how Epicureanism promotes tranquility through modest pleasures, strong friendships, and rational attitudes towards the divine and mortality.
