Stop Chasing Happiness, Find Peace

What if the very thing you're relentlessly chasing is making you miserable? What if "happiness"

isn't a destination, but a mirage? For centuries, ancient philosophers from both the East

and the West understood a profound truth that modern society has completely forgotten: chasing happiness

is a trap. It keeps you perpetually wanting, perpetually unsatisfied. Today,

we're going to explore why stopping the pursuit of happiness might be the most liberating act of

your life, and what Stoicism and Zen Buddhism offer instead. We are bombarded

with images of perpetual joy. Social media screams "be happy!" Self-help gurus

promise instant bliss. And when we don’t feel it, we feel like failures.
