Success should be pursued slowly and incrementally, as achieving wild success early on might be hard to sustain over time. It is essential not to attach success to one's identity to prevent it from defining who you are. Instead, prioritize roles like being a parent, spouse, friend, or neighbor as your primary identity. By doing so, you ensure that even if your career success diminishes, you will still have a firm grasp on who you are beyond your professional accomplishments.
We may live in an ever-evolving world, but some things never change. The power of a good story. The miracle of compound interest. The cold, hard fact that money can’t buy happiness. This is the deceptively simple premise of “Same as Ever” by Morgan Housel. If we can master the behaviors that never change, we’ll be ready to handle whatever the future throws at us. On today’s show, Morgan sits down with Rufus to share some of the timeless lessons from his new book as well as enduring wisdom from his last, “The Psychology of Money.”
