Welcome, seekers of truth!

This 619-page book intends to reintroduce pleasure as an innate guide to living a healthy and happy life—a simple yet powerful assertion based on empirical data, which stands up to the strictest scrutiny.

Along this journey, we will explore evidence throughout the historical evolution of philosophy up to the time of Epicurus, the ancient Greek philosopher who laid the foundations for a philosophy of nature. More specifically, it's the only philosophy that distinguishes pleasure as the inherent human guide to a healthy and happy life.

Author Haris Dimitriadis spent 15 years fervently researching the ancient Greek philosopher's teachings, a journey that he believes radically improved his worldview. In this detailed study, the author proposes that fear of pleasure characterizes contemporary society. Dimitriadis writes with open-hearted enthusiasm for his subject and believes that Epicurean philosophy has the power to change lives. With determination and perseverance, you too will find the happiness to which you are entitled. All the "goods" required for happiness are present in the natural world yet regularly overlooked or unappreciated.

This book is a labor of love, a vehicle by which to share my personal experience with you. Despite its technocratic nature, it is undeniably a deposition of my soul, brimming with emotion, pleasure, and pain throughout my quest for joy. I am pleased to present an empirically sound, well-documented philosophy of life that serves as a refreshing alternative to the prevailing idealistic culture.

And now, the caveat: happiness is indeed a choice. You are privileged to find it out through the lines of this book.
