That is why you have to go back to fundamental philosophical concepts i mentioned. They had studied the "Human Condition" extensively and prescribed different "Worldviews" (i.e. philosophical schools) and corresponding disciplines which people can choose from, to follow, according to their Characters/Dispositions.

The end goal is what the Hindus/Buddhists call "Kaivalya/Moksa/Nirvana" and the Greeks "Eudaimonia". This is not fleeting sensory happiness but a steady state of calm flowing happiness. While it is commonly thought of as necessitating stepping away from everything (i.e. renunciation) that is not necessary. You can engage with the World and yet stand apart from it by letting sensory enjoyments come and go while maintaining mental equanimity throughout.
