About this listen
Unlike their rivals the Epicureans, the Stoics were very wary of the pursuit of pleasure. They saw it as an unreliable and often disruptive force that could easily lead to vice and dependency. We discuss the Stoic approach: how to enjoy life's natural pleasures without becoming attached to them or making them the goal of your life.
