Correction

On the flight to HK, I managed to read The Epicurus Reader (it's only about 100 pages) and was surprised to find that Epicureanism meant the opposite from what I originally thought.

From websters (and the reason for my original notions):
ep·i·cure
1 archaic : one devoted to sensual pleasure : SYBARITE
2 : one with sensitive and discriminating tastes especially in food or wine

and of course:
ep·i·cu·re·an
1 capitalized : of or relating to Epicurus or Epicureanism
2 : of, relating to, or suited to an epicure


And yet his four part cure to unhappiness was:
Don't fear god,
Don't worry about death;
What is good is easy to get, and 
What is terrible is easy to endure.

Elaborating on the third point (copied from the above link):
Sustenance and shelter, these things can be acquired by anyone—by both animal and human—with minimal effort, regardless of wealth. But if one wants more than one needs (over indulgency, gluttony, etc.), one is limiting the chances of satisfaction and happiness, and therefore creating a “needless anxiety” in one’s life. "What is good is easy to get" implies that the minimum amount of necessity it takes to satisfy an urge is the maximum amount of interest a person should have in satisfying that urge

So for those looking for something a little more lively, how about Cyrenaic Hedonism?
