Why the Rich Stay Miserable: A Stoic Reframe on Wealth

from The Stoic Compass · host William Moore

In this episode of The Stoic Compass, Jim and Ellie take on a timeless question: If money brings happiness, why do so many wealthy people feel empty? Inspired by a thought-provoking piece from The Heroic Stoic blog, they unpack ancient Stoic wisdom to challenge our modern obsession with accumulation. From Epictetus to Marcus Aurelius, discover how contentment, virtue, and gratitude offer a more durable form of wealth than any bank account. Join us as we explore how to build a richer life—without chasing more.📖 Pay Attention by C.
