Philosophy: A Guide to Happiness. Series 1. Episode 3. Epicurus on Happiness

"The ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus believed there were just three simple things we needed in order to be happy - and money wasn't one of them.

Alain reveals what those things were, in a journey that takes him to the ruins of the ancient city of Oinoanda in south-western Turkey.

The answers he finds there help him to look at consumer society through Epicurus' eyes and he discusses the philosopher's beliefs with unhappy shopaholic Stephen Perry." (http://www.channel4.com/programmes/philosophy-a-guide-to-happiness/episode-guide/series-1/episode-3)
