Basic Proposition: Pain and frustration can be avoided and the good life assured by inventing options, opportunities, and adventures.

Habitual Focus of Attention: The positive in all things

What "Epicures" tell us about themselves:

• Life is an adventure!

• "Epicures" are pleasure-seeking and gluttons for experience and enjoyment;

• They are optimistic, active, and energetic;

• See multiple options, but

• have difficulty with commitment; and

• Do not want limits on themselves.

"What's next?.....that's my escape from pain."
