A selection of Horace's ideas on virtue as a key to contentment and happiness was presented, focusing on excerpts from the audiobook of this book published by Princeton University Press.
And no one talks about contentment more beautifully than the poet Horace, the Roman poet.
He who longs only for what is enough is not stirred to fear by the seas tumult or by the fierce force of the falling northern star or of the rising kid or by the vines beaten down by hail and the disappointing farm where the trees blame now the rain waters, now the constellations that roast the fields now the hostile winters.
Thee who has enough need not strive for more.
To be daunted by nothing is the one and only thing numicius that can make and keep you happy.
Those who speed across the sea change their climate, not their temper.

This book, translated by Stephen Harrison, contains poems by Horace that advocate being content with what one has and not worrying about the future; it was described as having been "devoured" by the podcast host.
This one is specifically translated by Stephen Harrison it's called How to Be Content, the search for the Good Life. I devoured this little book of Horus's poems quite quickly when I read it a few years ago and we carry it at the painted porch in the physical form which you can pick up I'll also link to it in today's episode page but I thought I'd bring you the audio because there's something about listening to poetry that's extra special.
In this excerpt Horus talks about being content with what you have and not worrying about the future and he explores how contentment piece satisfaction, enoughness is the key to living the Good Life.
I recommend the physical edition which you can pick up in the link below at thepaintedporge.com but if you want to grab it in an audio here's what it sounds like as well.
