Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, recently encouraged people to reject negative emotions in the face of setbacks and instead embrace \u201cpronoia.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Zuckerberg Envy<\/p>\n
In an Aug. 14 interview with journalist Katty Kay, Scaramucci described an incident at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where Meta CEO\u00a0Mark Zuckerberg was also present.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was 43 at the time. I think Mark Zuckerberg was 23. So we were separated by 20 years and $20 billion,\u201d said the former\u00a0Goldman Sachs\u00a0investment banker. \u201cI felt this small standing next to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pronoia Instead of Paranoia<\/p>\n
Scaramucci described the feeling as \u201cDavos envy.\u201d He remembered heading back to his hotel, taking out a piece of paper, and jotting down all the problems plaguing his business.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then I said, \u2018Okay, let me flip the page and let me write down what could go right in the business,’\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Scaramucci brought up pronoia, the exact opposite of paranoia, meaning that the \u201cuniverse is bending toward you and that the people around you are helping you to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, I tell my kids, and I\u2019m going to tell your viewers and listeners: you want to be a pronoik. You don\u2019t want to be a paranoik. That\u2019s a waste of time,\u201d the former White House Communications Director stated.<\/p>\n
