I began studying Stoicism about 18 months ago, which is a Greek (and later Roman) philosophy of life. It tells us to live our lives in accordance with nature (which is not to mean go live in a log cabin in the woods, but in accordance with the ideal nature of ourselves, the nature of people, the nature of the world we live in) and that virtue is the only good. If this interests you, there are a large number of Stoic resources on the web (at the risk of invoking the competition, the FAQ for the Stoicism subreddit on Reddit is very good), but you could get an idea of Stoicism from Massimo Pigliucci's NY Times blog post: How to Be a Stoic
