What the Roman poet Horace can teach us about how to live a life of contentment
What are the secrets to a contented life? One of Rome's greatest and most influential poets, Horace (65-8 BCE) has been cherished by readers for more than two thousand years not only for his wit, style, and reflections on Roman society, but also for his wisdom about how to live a good life--above all else, a life of contentment in a world of materialistic excess and personal pressures. In How to Be Content, Stephen Harrison, a leading authority on the poet, provides fresh, contemporary translations of poems from across Horace's works that continue to offer important lessons about the good life, friendship, love, and death. Living during the reign of Rome's first emperor, Horace drew on Greek and Roman philosophy, especially Stoicism and Epicureanism, to write poems that reflect on how to live a thoughtful and moderate life amid mindless overconsumption, how to achieve and maintain true love and friendship, and how to face disaster and death with patience and courage. From memorable counsel on the pointlessness of worrying about the future to valuable advice about living in the moment, these poems, by the man who famously advised us to carpe diem, or "harvest the day," continue to provide brilliant meditations on perennial human problems. Featuring translations of, and commentary on, complete poems from Horace's Odes, Satires, Epistles, and Epodes, accompanied by the original Latin, How to Be Content is both an ideal introduction to Horace and a compelling book of timeless wisdom.Binding Type: Hardcover

you need this in your life
Color: Rose Gold #01, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Rose Gold #01, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve used this body liquid shimmer oil three times already for photo shoots, and it has completely become my go-to for glowing skin. If your skin ever looks dull or never quite “camera ready,” this product instantly changes that.
It gives an intense, beautiful shimmer that makes the skin look smooth, radiant, and glowy without looking cheap or overdone. It also helps blur the look of imperfections while adding a really stunning sparkle that catches the light perfectly. if you are into camera photography, you need this.
What impressed me most is that it doesn’t transfer and actually stays put through sweat, movement, and long wear. It lasts all day and doesn’t get on clothing, which is rare for body shimmer products.
I even used it for my birthday and everyone was obsessed with how glowing the skin looked they kept asking me for the link. I didn’t expect much at first, but it completely exceeded my expectations. It’s easy to apply, dries down well, and is honestly my holy grail for any outfit showing skin. it makes my skin look so perfect up to the point where it’s kind of uncanny.

Will purchase again & again ✨
Color: Glistening Bronze #03, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this product so much! I don’t know what TJ other reviews are talking about by saying it doesn’t last long - when I apply this, it lasts all day. I did a darker shade than I thought I should but that worked out great because it makes me look tanner and makes my skin look so shiny, glittery, and even. For the price, you can’t beat this product. I get excited to put it on! Do yourself a favor & get this. You deserve to feel pretty and shiny :)
