About The Book
Who’s happier, a family of adventurers traveling in a motorhome or a family earning millions of dollars and buying the very best stuff? There’s no way to answer that question. But after traveling the world for seven years, I know where the odds are higher. This is based on anecdotal observations and robust, behavioral scientific studies. And those stories and studies are referenced in, Balance: How to Invest and Spend for Happiness, Health and Wealth.
Sure, the book explains evidence-based strategies for providing the best odds of success in the stock market. But it’s more than that. It helps you answer important questions:
- How can we boost longevity, wealth and happiness?
- When it comes to spending, what sorts of purchases really enhance happiness? And yes, some material purchases do!
- How should we define success? And based on that definition, how can your children be successful?
We all want the best out of life. So allow this book to take you on a holistic journey of success.
