The Stoic Capitalist: Advice for the Exceptionally Ambitious

Robert Rosenkranz, the chairman of Delphi Capital Management, rose from working-class origins to become a self-made billionaire, thanks to an illustrious career in private equity. He used that success as a Social Capital platform to support civil discourse and free speech, launching the program Open to Debate, which is widely distributed through NPR stations. He also funded Impetus Grants to expand our healthy lifespans; and Canyon, a cultural institution in New York showcasing visual art, sound, music and technology. In The Stoic Capitalist, he explores topics that many Social Capital CEOs will find relatable: how to balance ambition with contribution, the art of aligning interests to shape better outcomes, how to set clear metrics for success, and how to turn negotiation into a problem-solving exercise and not a contest of wills. If you’re looking for inspiration to achieve your next big goal, this book will infuse you with energy.
