Ask Amas - the Joyful Stoic
Hosted by Amas Tenumah · EN
I was what William Irvine describes as an enlightened Hedonist – chasing increasing pleasures all the while trying to do the right thing. The pursuit of more is a trap, the chase of happiness ends in temporary happiness, that ends in you chasing more happiness.
The things that ails us all are anxiety, fear, grief, and practicing Stoicism is an immunization to all of those things. It is not about a state of stoic non feeling but the presence of Stoic Joy.
