The Jesus You Need To Know: How Jesus, Epicurus, and the Modern Science of Happiness Can Change Your Life

What is the secret of true happiness? Actually, the answer to that question has been with us for over 2,000 years and is readily available to us today. In this groundbreaking book, R. Earle Rabb explores the answer provided by the Greek philosopher Epicurus and the surprising impact of his message on the life and teachings of Jesus. He takes a fresh look at these two men who lived 300 years apart and examines how the message they taught got lost and the heavy price we have paid for that loss. The good news is that the message is still there. The author illuminates how the path to happiness and wellbeing they pioneered is confirmed by the modern Science of Happiness. In so doing, we find a path that leads each of us to real happiness and a more peaceful world.
