Born in 340 BCE, Epicurus was a Greek philosopher who proposed that the aim of life should be to find happiness in simple pleasures. He suggested that “we make feeling the rule by which to judge of every good thing.” In his mind, the joy of a philosophical conversation with friends far outstripped the satisfaction of accumulating material goods. Thousands of years later, his advice still rings true. When we find ourselves dissatisfied with our lives, perhaps what we need is not the latest gadget or gizmo, but rather a deep and engaging conversation with a loved one.
