The Essential Epicurus by Epicurus
A compact guide to a practical, materialist philosophy that teaches pleasure—understood as the absence of pain and mental disturbance—as the highest good; it explains atomistic physics to remove fear of gods and death, offers moral rules (prudence, moderation, and valuing simple pleasures and friendship), and gives short, actionable sayings and letters aimed at achieving tranquility and a self-sufficient, examined life.
