YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhat can the Stoics teach us about thriving in today’s world?
Stoic thinkers like Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius taught that clarity of thought and emotional detachment lead to a life of virtue, tranquility, and wisdom. Investor, philanthropist, and public intellectual Robert Rosenkranz has applied these principles throughout his career—from modest beginnings to becoming chairman of Delphi Capital Management and founder of Open to Debate.
In this conversation, Emmy Award–winning journalist John Donvan speaks with Rosenkranz about his new book, The Stoic Capitalist: Advice for the Exceptionally Ambitious. They explore how Stoicism shaped Rosenkranz’s thinking, the founding of Open to Debate, and how disciplined thought and purposeful action can lead to success—and a life well lived.
Guest: Robert Rosenkranz — Author, Chairman of Delphi Capital Management, and Founder of Open to Debate
