Solid Joy Steady Character The Stoic Answer to Pleasure

Where do we find joy that doesn’t fade? For the Stoics the answer is not in pleasure praise or possessions but in life long learning. This session explores how the Stoics distinguish between fleeting pleasure and enduring joy. True joy they argue is not a mood or a moment but the fruit of self mastery clarity and inner alignment with virtue. It begins not in chance events but in the quiet confidence of a well ordered character. We’ll examine why the wise person not the lucky one lives joyfully and how joy that springs from within rooted in conscience purpose and why lasting joy is found only by those who have stopped chasing pleasure.
