How to Control Desire | Epicurus and The Principal Doctrines

In a world full of advertisements and promotions, it's easy to want a lot of things that we probably shouldn't get for whatever reason. Maybe you're trying to save money, maybe you're trying to eat healthier, either way it's difficult when the economy wants you to consume. So how might we be able to help control our desires?
The philosopher Epicurus offers specific mental exercises to go through when you start to desire something. He wants us to consider the things we have now and remember how we thought about them before getting them and consider how we feel now. Next, he wants us to consider what our lives would look like after we get the thing we want. #philosophy #epicurus #epicurean
