#383 - Epictetus on Wealth and Detachment
Update: 2025-09-16
Description
In this episode, I explore Epictetus’ challenge:
Can you gain wealth and possessions without losing your dignity, self-respect, and character? Drawing from
Enchiridion 24, I unpack the Stoic idea of detachment—why possessions so easily ensnare us, how loss reveals our attachments, and what it really means to see everything in life as borrowed, not owned. From backyard saunas to daily conveniences, I share how to enjoy externals without clinging to them, and why the only thing life can’t take from you is your character.
