| The Memories of Epicurus |
Writer's note:
This reason that I wrote this simple book is my gratitude for Epicurus and his teaching including nature of things by Lucretius, Epicurus wrote many and various books,unfortunately almost all lost but some letters and critics by their foes, I tried to mix fiction with reality to show how Epicurus would have answered his critics.
Let peace of mind and happiness fill your mind whatever you are !
I will add more chapers like the Swerve and Free will and The power positive affirmation. I also will add more scientific facts about happiness.
| Author Adel Elsherif succeeds in transforming Epicurus from a "distant figure in dusty texts" into a living, breathing voice that speaks directly to the reader. |
The book's greatest strength lies in its unique structure. By blending historical research with fictionalized dialogues, Elsherif allows us to sit under the fig tree and witness Epicurus defending his ideas against rivals like the Stoic Epictetus or the Platonist Crates.
This approach effectively dismantles centuries of "misconceptions" and "slanders," revealing a philosopher who championed simplicity and friendship over the caricature of mindless indulgence often associated with his name.
Beyond biography, the work serves as a practical manual for mental health.
It provides a clear breakdown of the "Fourfold Remedy" (Tetrapharmakon) for anxiety and introduces the "Calculus of Advantage"—a logical framework for making life choices that prioritize long-term peace over fleeting pleasure. Whether you are a student of philosophy or simply someone seeking a "sanctuary of reason," this book offers a profound and accessible path to tranquility.
This book is not just a history lesson; it is a "medicine for the soul" designed to help you find your own path to a simple, fearless, and free life.
Join Epicurus under the fig tree and start your journey toward tranquility today.
