“How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy.” – Marcus Aurelius
In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:
The psychological phenomenon known as “conspicuous consumption” happens to everyone from everyday Americans to billionaires. It happens because, subconsciously, humans look at those around them for confirmation of their social and economic status. Where a peacock fluffs his feathers, we flaunt our “wealth” in the form of houses, cars, clothes, jewelry and other material possessions.
We talk about avoiding this kind of animal brain thinking on today’s podcast.
