Book description
It's not all about the money; the key to true riches
Leo Tolstoy said, "Nobody knows where the human race is going.
The highest wisdom, then, is to know where you are going." Yet
many today chase the false rabbits of success: status, luxury,
reputation and material possessions. In the quest to "have it
all," our lives often lack real meaning and purpose. Beyond
Wealth is the antidote.
New York Times bestselling author Alexander Green takes things
right down to brass tacks: We are here for a short time. Knowledge is
limitless. Therefore, the most critical knowledge is not any
particular skill but rather wisdom about "how to live."
Fortunately, men and women have had several thousand years to think
about what it means to live "the good life." And the answers
found here, from Plato and Aristotle to Mahatma Gandhi and Stephen
Hawking, will both surprise and delight you.
Beyond Wealth provides insightful commentary on the most
important aspects of our lives: love, work, honor, trust, freedom,
death, fear, truth, beauty and other timeless issues. The book is both
a thought provoking read and the ideal gift, guaranteed to ennoble,
uplift and inspire.
ALEXANDER GREEN is the Investment Director of The
Oxford Club and the author of two national bestsellers: The Gone
Fishin' Portfolio and The Secret of Shelter Island: Money and What
Matters. He has been featured on Oprah & Friends, Fox News, The
O'Reilly Factor, CNBC, MSNBC, and C-SPAN and has been profiled by the
Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, Forbes, and many other
publications. He currently lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, and
Winter Springs, Florida, with his wife Karen and their children Hannah
and David.
