The Stoic Path to Wealth: Ancient Wisdom for Enduring Prosperity
Darius Foroux · 2024
🎙 Narrated by Mark Deakins
70/100
👍 Worth It
Darius Foroux's mashup of Stoic philosophy and investing psychology earned genuine praise, including a nod from finance writer Morgan Housel, and it makes the case for emotional discipline in investing feel actionable rather than abstract. The Stoic thread does thin out in the later, more finance-heavy chapters. Worth it overall, and Mark Deakins's narration is a steady, professional listen.
