The tetrapharmakos (Epicurus’ 2300-year old antidote for stress).

1. Dont fear the gods.( Dont fear anything out of your control).
2. Don’t worry about death. (Rather than worry about it, squeeze the joy out of every moment you have on earth.)
3. What’s good is easy to get. (Most of the good things in life do not require money e.g love etc)
4. What’s painful is easy to endure. (Pain can be endured and even turned into background noise).
