The Power of Stoicism

The word stoic or stoicism has developed modern connotations that I think perhaps turn people off of the concept of studying something called stoicism. People perceive it as asceticism or foregoing all of your worldly possessions. How can you talk about foregoing riches? And I'm kind of laying this one up because I've obviously read a lot about this. But I'd love for you to talk about how you would reconcile some of those things.
