How to Find Happiness

In "How to Find Happiness," Katharina Volk presents a vivid new translation of Cicero's dialogues, "On the Greatest Good and Evil," which delve into the timeless question of what constitutes true happiness. Cicero skillfully contrasts the perspectives of various philosophical schools, including the Epicureans, who advocate pleasure as the greatest good, and the Stoics, who emphasize moral virtue. Rather than favoring one viewpoint, Cicero thoughtfully examines the merits and drawbacks of each, prompting readers to explore and determine their own paths to happiness.
