In this episode of The Dialog, hosts Josh Craft and Nick Surface explore one of the most persistent illusions of modern life — the pursuit of happiness. Is happiness something we can ever truly achieve, or is it the wrong target altogether?

Through a thought-provoking blend of Stoic philosophy, biblical truth, and Eastern wisdom, Josh and Nick unpack what it means to stop treating life like a problem to solve and start seeing it as a reality to experience. Drawing on insights from Kierkegaard, Lao Tzu, Romans 8:28, and Epictetus, they confront the modern obsession with control and certainty — and reveal why peace and joy are found not in mastering circumstances, but in mastering the mind.
