18 Biblical Counseling - Hedonism

Hedonism is the pursuit of pleasure, and as a philosophy, it is the pursuit of pleasure as the highest good and proper aim of life.

When pleasure becomes a pursuit in life greater than God or when it is sought outside of the boundaries God has set for experiencing it, then it is the worldly and sinful pursuit of the lusts of the flesh, lust of the eyes and lust of pride (1 John 2:15-16).
