Decoding Epicurus' Happiness Hacks

Decoding Epicurus' Happiness Hacks

Grow Your Mindset and Happiness, the Ancient Stoic Ways. Are modern self-help gurus just repackaging ancient wisdom? Learn the timeless psychological insights from legendary philosopher Epicurus that can help you achieve happiness, overcome fear, and live fully. In this psychology and personal growth-focused episode, we decode the dense 2000+ year old teachings of Epicurus, founder of Epicureanism. Understand the common misconceptions about what Epicurus stood for and what it means to live an Epicurean lifestyle of prudence and contentment. - - - On the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create. Through a process of honest self-reflection of what is holding us back and what is driving us forward, we can lose the ego and build awareness of how to be the best we can be. - - - Connect with Sam: Sam's newsletter on creativity - Explosive Thinking Watch the pod - YouTube (Growth Mindset) Twitter - @samjamharris Instagram - @SamJam.zen - - - Show: Growth Mindset, psychology of self-improvement Episode: Ancient Greek Philosophy to Reduce Modern Anxiety Chapters: 00:00 Choosing Happiness 02:33 The Principal Doctrines of Epicurus 03:57 Epicureanism and Stoicism 05:10 4 Keys to Happiness 05:39 Don't Fear Death 07:09 Lessons from a dying podcast guest 07:43 What is good is easy to get 08:56 Epicurus' Hierarchy of Desires 11:02 Epicurus' Lifestyle and Values 12:15 Epicurus on God 13:57 2 Framework from Epicurus 15:25 Send Off Relevant keywords Growth mindset podcast Epicurus Epicureanism Ancient Greek Philosophy Hedonism Pursuit of Pleasure Epicurean Paradox The Garden (Epicurus' school) Philosophy of Happiness Stoicism vs Epicureanism Ataraxia (Tranquility) Simple Living Desire Theory Death and Fearlessness Rational Pleasure Friendship and Community Hellenistic Philosophy Materialism (Philosophical Context) Epicurean Ethics The Nature of the Gods (Epicurean View) Legacy of Epicurus Learn more about your ad choices.
