Can you be both wealthy and genuinely happy — or does one undermine the other?

from The Stoic Compass

Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi examine whether wealth and genuine happiness can coexist, disagreeing on how attachment forms but agreeing that confusion about what money actually provides is the real problem. Through their dialogue, you'll discover why the wealthy often feel no more secure than before, what unconscious wound might be driving endless accumulation, and why understanding your fear is more useful than understanding your portfolio. By the end, you'll have a single practical question to ask yourself about what you're actually protecting when you protect your money.📖 Pay Attention by C.
