In this video, we explore the paradox of desire and examine whether embracing the idea of wanting less can lead to a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Drawing from ancient and modern philosophies, such as Buddhism, Epicureanism, Stoicism, and Minimalism, we delve into the teachings of Stoic philosophers like Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and Epictetus to uncover their insights on managing desires and cultivating gratitude.
