Avoid These 5 Foolish Traps with Money & Success (Stoic Guide)
About this episode
If you have ever caught yourself daydreaming about "making it", the money, the status, the proof that you matter, this one is for you. I walk through Chapter 24 of Epictetus' Handbook, where he lays out five arguments against chasing status and wealth for their own sake.
None of this is about pretending you do not want nice things. It is about getting honest with what you are actually chasing, and what it costs you. I share where I still get caught by it myself.
