Stoicism on Desire | Why Wanting Less Brings Peace

Описание: Desire promises fulfillment.
But it delivers restlessness.

In this video, we explore Stoicism on desire — a core teaching from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus — and why wanting less is the true path to peace, freedom, and inner strength.

Stoicism does not teach you to reject life.
It teaches you to stop being enslaved by wanting.

You will learn:
– Why desire creates suffering even when it is fulfilled
– How wanting ties your peace to things outside your control
– The difference between natural and unnecessary desires
– Why “more” never leads to enough
– How reducing desire restores clarity, balance, and dignity
– Stoic practices to loosen attachment and regain inner freedom

This video is not self-help.
It is self-mastery.

Not a rejection of the world —
but a refusal to be ruled by it.

Watch slowly.
Listen carefully.
And release what was never yours to hold.

“You have power over your mind — not outside events.”
— Marcus Aurelius
