Topics
Ryan: 本期节目探讨了财富与斯多葛主义的关联性,并采访了白手起家的亿万富翁Robert Rosenkranz,以了解其如何将斯多葛哲学应用于商业和生活中。Rosenkranz的著作《斯多葛资本家》探讨了如何在追求卓越的同时保持内心的平静与智慧。节目中,我们还讨论了财富与幸福的关系,以及如何避免财富成为人生的负担。 Ryan: 我们还讨论了如何将斯多葛哲学应用于投资和商业决策中,例如如何理性地评估风险,以及如何保持冷静和客观。 Ryan: 最后,我们探讨了财富的来源对个人价值观和慈善行为的影响,并比较了白手起家者与继承财富者在慈善方面的差异。 Robert Rosenkranz: 我通过认知行为疗法专家巴鲁克·费什曼了解了斯多葛主义,发现它与我自身的思维方式相符。斯多葛哲学为我的雄心勃勃的生活提供了框架,帮助我实现童年的梦想,也希望能通过我的故事帮助其他人实现他们的梦想。 Robert Rosenkranz: 我从小就意识到父母的经济困境,并培养了自强、独立思考和韧性的品质。我从糟糕的家庭环境和母亲的共产主义思想中汲取了有益的经验,例如批判性思维、自立和阅读传记。阅读人物传记,并将其视为成功指南,对我的成长至关重要。 Robert Rosenkranz: 在高风险投资中,我运用理性克服恐惧,并通过计算潜在收益和损失来做出决策。我将全部流动资产投入创业,并承担高比例的风险和收益,这是一个理性的决策,而非盲目冒险。我通过理性计算潜在收益和损失,克服了恐惧,做出了高风险投资的决策。面对恐惧,斯多葛主义教导我们通过理性控制来应对,想象最坏的结果,并评估其严重性。 Robert Rosenkranz: 直觉并非天赋,而是批判性思维的习惯,它能帮助我们辨别信息真伪,并做出更明智的决策。批判性思维在人工智能时代的重要性,以及如何避免被错误信息误导。真正的智慧需要付出努力和学习,而非依赖捷径或工具。时间是宝贵的资源,要谨慎使用,过有目标的生活,而不是浪费时间。在任何领域取得成功都需要付出努力和学习,不能指望捷径或投机取巧。保持谦逊和开放的心态,才能不断学习和进步,而自以为是则会阻碍学习。自信应该建立在证据和实际能力上,而不是盲目自负或依赖他人评价。塞内卡认为财富可以丰富生活,但关键在于如何看待它,积极的态度能使财富成为益处,消极的态度则会带来负面影响。贫穷并非缺乏物质,而是贪婪的欲望,许多富人缺乏满足感,并总是与他人比较。财富是实现目标的一种手段,而非最终目的,它可以用来丰富生活,进行慈善事业等。财富容易成为目的本身,人们可能会被物质所束缚,并过度关注财富的积累和炫耀。财富应该是一种手段,而非目的,它可以用来帮助他人,促进社会进步。白手起家的富豪比继承财富的人更倾向于进行大规模慈善捐赠,因为他们更了解财富的价值和社会责任。
