Brief Over Het Geluk by Epicurus
A concise ethical guide arguing that the highest good is tranquility attained by pursuing natural, necessary pleasures and avoiding unnecessary desires and pains; it teaches that prudence and virtue are the means to long-term pleasure, that fear of gods and death is irrational because death is nothing to the living, and that understanding our true needs and limits—along with simple living and friendship—leads to a serene, happy life.
