In this episode, my guest is John Sellars, the author of the new book The Pocket Epicurean. Professor Sellars is a Reader in Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London, a Visiting Research Fellow at King's College London. He is also the author of Lessons in Stoicism, The Art of Living, and many others. 

In the conversation, John and I discuss:

  • Finding Tranquility
  • The Wisdom of Nature
  • What we actually need to live a good life
  • How the Stoics and Epicureans viewed the role of virtue
  • How to think about emotions
  • Wisdom in daily life and much more
