Sit Still and Prosper: How a Former Money Manager Discovered the Path to Investing with Greater Clarity, Calmness, and Confidence

A former money manager discovers how investing can be about much more than just making money.

Stephanie Griffiths was a successful money manager and self-described workaholic when she learned to meditate, hoping to reduce her stress and improve her productivity.

By cultivating what Buddhists call “beginner’s mind,” Griffiths opened her eyes to a much richer range of possibilities, both personal and financial.
