#344 - The Pursuit for Less

The Strong Stoic Podcast

In a world that constantly screams "more," minimalism whispers, "enough." Minimalism challenges the pervasive narrative of consumerism—one that equates happiness with accumulation. It asks us to pause, reflect, and consider the cost of this endless chase for wealth, possessions, and status.
The Stoics, philosophers of simplicity and clarity, would find much to agree with in this modern movement. They understood that the relentless pursuit of external achievements can leave us feeling overwhelmed, trapped, and, ironically, empty. By embracing minimalism, we align ourselves with a philosophy that values inner peace over external abundance.
