They Don’t Want You To Know This | The Stoics Guide To Becoming Wealthy

À propos de cet épisode

<p>Those shoes you’re wearing were likely made in a sweatshop by a child in horrendous labor conditions. That luxury handbag is a few dollars worth of leather and a fortune in deceptive advertising and branding.

It is, however, an exercise that <a href="https://dailystoic.com/practice-contemptuous-expressions/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marcus Aurelius tried to practice</a> in his own way.</p><p>---</p><p>And in today's Daily Stoic video excerpt, Ryan explains how and why the foundational concepts and daily practices of Stoicism were designed to teach people how to thrive, succeed, and live a rich, happy life.
