I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in pursuit of pleasure' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'mind shoe while messing' is the wordplay.
'mind shoe' anagrams to 'HEDONISM'.
However, I'm not clear how this is indicated.

'about' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hedonism that I've seen before include "Doctrine that pleasure is the highest good" , "The pusuit of pleasure as life's greatest good" , "System based on pleasure as the highest good" , "The pursuit of and devotion to pleasure" , "Pleasure-seeking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
