A complex yet simple state of tranquility, stability, apathy, serene joy, and pleasure, which can lead a person through Virtue to the peaceful contemplation of All Things and the discovery of the true purpose and meaning of their life, a state of well-being, i.e., harmonious alignment with the “Eternal Flow” of the Whole, has been the subject of study for most Philosophical Schools of ancient Greece that have influenced and will continue to influence all thinking individuals on this small blue Planet of ours.

In his new book, the author Dr. Evgenios Yarenis helps us to “hear” two seemingly opposing philosophical “voices,” whose representatives often expressed their strong opposition to each other, despite their ultimately common aim of achieving this state of well-being, fearlessness, and freedom, here and now.

A state of liberation from all the passions and flaws that have tormented, for centuries, the minds and lives of individuals, and consequently, humanity collectively. Stoics and Epicureans, wise men together for the first time in a Greek edition!

Let us free our minds and hearts by “listening” to the words of Marcus Aurelius, the "emperor who experienced Truth," of Epictetus, the "slave who freed himself," and of Epicurus, the "wise man who laughed at death," philosophers who vividly throughout the ages have the power to radically change the thoughts and lives of those who desire the transformation of their consciousness through a truly philosophized way of life.
