3 Stoic Rules for a Wealthy Life

Darius Foroux
About this episode

There are 3 rules to become wealthy and still live like a Stoic. Because, if you’re like me, we don’t really aim to become famous or own fancy cars.


We simply want to build wealth so we can have peace of mind. That’s the key to a wealthy and satisfying life.


In this video, I talk about the 3 Stoic rules to achieve the above. We’ll dig into thriving in a winner-takes-all economy, breaking through misfortune and bad things in life, and becoming more resilient through the regular meditation on loss.


When we follow these 3 Stoic rules, we give ourselves the mental capacity for growth - which is the key to progress and inner fulfillment.
