I was recently featured in the Seize the Moment podcast, where we discussed the Epicureanism chapter of How to live a good life. We discussed--among other things--hedonic calculus, the Epicurean canon, the science of happiness, the importance of friendships for happiness, and Universal Basic Income and other possible solutions to the automation of labor.

The book Epitome: Epicurean Writings is now available everywhere. Ancient Epicureans always walked around with an Epitome from which they studied Epicurean philosophy. This modern English-language Epitome includes the Principal Doctrines, Vatican Sayings, Epistles, and several summaries of the scrolls from Herculaneum with a thematic index, and my commentaries.

Also, I recently gave an interview (which is now live in three parts: Part I, Part II and Part III) to Pablo Veloso, an Argentinian podcaster who lives in Spain. We discussed details about the therapeutics of Epicurean philosophy, the history of the Epicurean tradition, descriptions of the Epicurean sage, what it means to be part of a 21st-Century virtual Koinonia (Epicurean community), and many other subjects. It was a very enjoyable conversation, and English subtitles are available in the videos. Patreon subscribers also have the option of reading the script of the interview from societyofepicurus.com.

Also, Epicureanism now has a page within the website of the Spiritual Naturalist Society, where it is considered one of their available traditions.
