Wise: Having inward wealth

Inward wealth is the antidote to boredom and having a dull mind. Here are a few ways to cultivate inward wealth:

  1. Stay curious: Pursue knowledge for the sake of curiosity, not with an agenda. Allow yourself to be amazed by the world around you.
  2. Take care of your body: Always measure yourself and see your health as an ongoing project. You can never be healthy or strong enough, so strive for continuous improvement
  3. Have deep conversations: Seek out people with who you can have long and meaningful conversations about philosophy, psychology, motivation, art, and other profound topics.
  4. Travel: Go out and see different places. Traveling exposes you to new cultures, traditions, and ways of life, broadening your horizons and enriching your understanding of the world.
  5. Find pleasure in simple things: Take joy in the free and simple pleasures of life like observing the changing seasons, or practicing meditation.

By focusing on these practices, you can cultivate inward wealth and protect yourself from the numbing effects of modern distractions.

In my new article, I talk more about inward wealth and why it’s so important in today’s world.

Wealthy: Stoicism and money

Yes, you can be Stoic and pursue wealth. It doesn’t contradict each other. You can also be a wealthy Stoic. Here’s how:

  1. Earn an honest living: Focus on earning money through honest and ethical means. Prioritize your values and integrity over quick gains.
  2. Invest wisely: Use a disciplined approach to investing. Avoid getting swayed by market hype and short-term fluctuations.
  3. Manage your emotions: Cultivate emotional resilience to handle market volatility.
  4. Develop unique skills: Invest in yourself by developing unique skills and talents.
  5. Live simply: Embrace a lifestyle of simplicity and moderation. Avoid excessive consumerism and focus on what truly matters, such as honor, integrity, and personal growth.

By following these principles, you can achieve financial success while staying true to Stoic philosophy. More on this in my other new article.

The Rich Stoic: Whether You Have Money or Not, Be Content

Rich Stoic

The other day I read a thread on the Stoicism subreddit about the relationship between money and Stoicism. The majority of the commenters didn’t buy that you could be Stoic and wealthy at the same time. Most folks don’t think the concept of a rich stoic is possible.

In short, they said that Stoicism is about living a simple and stringent life. There’s no room for the pursuit of wealth in that lifestyle.
