'An inspiring story of a life well lived.' MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG, Founder of Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Philanthropies

The Stoic ideal of a well lived life has been around since 300BC, but what can we learn from it 2,300 years later?


In The Stoic Capitalist, Robert Rosenkranz shows how its teachings can lead to a life of accomplishment, fulfillment, and impact. Stoic principles are applied not just to help you cope but to achieve your most ambitious goals. He offers an astute combination of philosophical, psychological, and business observations, along with practical advice spanning topics as diverse as finance, investments, negotiation, hiring, time management, art collecting, philanthropy, and longevity. He explains how ancient philosophy and its psychological insights can be used to create extraordinary outcomes in your personal and professional life.

Each of the short chapters offers ideas you can use to thrive. Along the way, you meet a lively global cast of RAND nuclear strategists, pioneering artists, scientist-entrepreneurs racing to extend the human lifespan, and iconic figures in the Wall Street boom years. The book offers an insider’s perspective on the creation of such major developments as private equity, hedge funds, and junk bonds.

Rosenkranz writes as he speaks, with the engaging voice of a Renaissance man who is insatiably curious, eager to learn, open to all viewpoints, but embracing none without critical thought. Reading this book may help you realize your childhood dreams.

Robert Rosenkranz rose from working class origins and became a self-made billionaire as a pioneer in private equity, multi-strategy hedge funds, and the insurance industry. Beyond business, he is a patron of the arts and medical science, and a quietly influential champion of civil discourse and free speech; he launched the acclaimed NPR program, Open to Debate, and funded Impetus Grants to extend human healthspans. He is also creating a new kind of cultural institution in New York, Canyon to showcase artists working at the intersection of visual art, sound, music, and technology.
