3 Stoic Rules for a Wealthy Life The Darius Foroux Show: Mindset, Business, Money

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.

I also have a library of podcast episodes available in case you’re new to my work. You will especially enjoy my podcast if you have enough from listening to the same people on different podcasts. I only interview people who’s work I find valuable. To me, that’s the best way to have a conversation that’s also valuable for the reader.

If you’re into interviews, check out my conversations with Derek Sivers and Cal Newport. Listeners enjoyed those episodes a lot.

If you’re into productivity, check out “How To Focus Better” and “How To Beat Procrastination With Systems.” Those episodes were received well my listeners who want to get more done.

If you’re curious about personal finance and wealth building, check out my popular episode “5 Tips To Get Rich Slowly.” In that episode, I talk about several practical tips I’ve learned. Not the standard get rich quick advice.

I also have an episode on strength training and fitness. I’ve been working out since I was 16 and experienced many injuries. On “5 Tips For More Effective Strength Training” I talk about how I changed my approach. As a result, I feel stronger and I’m no longer injured several times a year.

I’ve also experimented with added audio articles to my podcast. For example, I recorded an audio version of 10 Career Mistakes I Wish I Had Never Made. That’s one of my most-read articles on careers.
