A short video about Epicurus, a poet-philosopher who was interested in what makes people happy. Learning about the thoughts of the Epicureans helped me get my head in order to some extent. Summary: Friendship makes us happiest, among human relations, but we dont see our friends enough. Working alone or in small teams makes us happy when we are improving the world in some way. Luxury doesnt make you calm - nature does, solitude does, reflection does. Epicurus bought a big house, started living with all his friends. I am reminded of the mansion retreat in Stranger in a Strange Land.
