Get Rich With Stoicism
from The Darius Foroux Show: Mindset, Business, Money · host Darius Foroux
Stoicism, an ancient Greek philosophy, is not just a guide for leading a virtuous and meaningful life; it can also be a roadmap to financial success. Nearly all the prominent Stoics were well off, from the founder, Zeno, to the most prolific writer of the bunch, Seneca. In fact, you can argue that Stoicism was for wealthy people at the time. This is why it’s such a popular philosophy today. We have so many resources at our disposal that we don’t even know what to do with them. We live in a world where boredom is widespread. Now, here’s the main concern with the pursuit of wealth. If your only reason to acquire money is so you can a fancier car, go on more luxury vacations, and wear better clothes, you’re missing the point. I believe that Stoicism should (and must) be applied to money because without a Stoic mindset, one will succumb to greed. In my latest episode, I’ll share a few ways you can get rich without getting greedy. Pre-order The Stoic Path to Wealth My new book is coming out July 16th. It shows you how to build enduring wealth in the stock market. Learn more: stoicpathtowealth.com
