In this episode of In Search of Wisdom, my guest is Prof. Emily Austin, the author of Living for Pleasure: An Epicurean Guide to Life. Living for Pleasure is part of the Guides to the Good Life series by Oxford University Press. I’m a big fan of the series; it’s dedicated to the idea that philosophy can, as it was for hundreds of years in the ancient world – be a way of life.


***This episode is a rebroadcast (it was originally released on January 18th, 2023). 


Key Takeaways:

  • Why Epicurus is a perennial figure.
  • How to find tranquility.
  • The meaning of pleasure.
  • Virtue, Gratitude, and much more.
