Summary

What does it mean to be wealthy? It's a common belief that being wealthy means having lots of money. That’s true on some occasions, but it’s not always the case. My book “The Stoic Path to Wealth”, introduces another way of looking at life. This is the first book that combines wealth building and investing with Stoicism. Because the Stoic philosophy is about focusing only on what you can control and disregarding anything else. It’s a philosophy you can apply to every aspect of your life, especially wealth. To lead a wealthy life while remaining Stoic is to manage your emotions and focus on what you can do with your own money. In this video, I will summarize the most important points of The Stoic Path to Wealth.
