Stoicism and Happiness: How to Find Joy Beyond Pleasure
Description
Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the Podcast on Stoicism.
Most people spend their lives chasing happiness, but the Stoics had a different approach. In this episode of the Via Stoica Podcast, Benny and Brendan explore the true nature of happiness through a Stoic lens. You’ll learn why fleeting pleasures often leave us feeling empty, and how virtue, contentment, and self-awareness can lead to something deeper and longer-lasting.
The conversation unpacks essential Stoic concepts like eudaimonia, apatheia, and the difference between good emotions and uncontrolled passions. With personal stories, practical advice, and honest reflections, this episode helps you shift your focus from temporary highs to a stable and flourishing inner life.
