Synopsis

“Wealth Matters” columnist for The New York Times reveals the decisions, behaviors, and worldviews that lead to true wealth.

For the better part of the past decade, Paul Sullivan has written about and lived among some of the wealthiest people in America. He has learned how they save, spend, and invest their money; how they work and rest; how they use their wealth to give their children educational advantages, but not strip them of motivation. He has also seen how they make horrendous mistakes. Firsthand, Sullivan knows why some people, even “rich” people, never find true wealth, and why other people, even those who have far less, are far better off financially.

This book shows how others can make better financial decisions—and come to terms with what money means to them. It lays out how to avoid the pitfalls around saving, spending, and giving money away and think differently about wealth to lead a more secure and less stressful life. An essential complement to all of the financial advice available, this “timely…smart” (Publishers Weekly) guide is a welcome antidote to the idea that wealth is a number on a bank statement.

Goodreads review by Jon

Convoluted and overly anecdotal Just a generally frustrating read. The author has great access to incredibly smart business and financial minds, but I constantly found myself asking "what's the specific point he's making?" And "But how does he explain ." Read Tony Robbins' book on finances instead, o......more

Goodreads review by John

Bad title, good book This is one of the better books about modern wealth and the many meanings and psychologies around money. It is not an investing book, but is much more valuable. He really discusses what money can and can't do what it means to people's happiness and lives. Now, his perspective Is......more
