About the book

Most owners I meet built a company that makes money but cannot breathe without them. I call it the Owner's Trap. The Stoic Owner is the way out: the operating system of Marcus Aurelius, a man who ran an empire through plague, war and betrayal, together with the stories of founders I interviewed who kept their companies standing through Lebanon's collapse. I have spent 18 years advising more than 700 business owners in 57 countries, and this book is what I wish every one of them had read first.
