One of the better personal finance book I've read recently that digs into not only the "how to" but the "why to" and focusing on money not for moneys sake, but as a means to an end of supporting a happy fulfilling life spent with those around you.

If you already consume a lot of personal wealth/investing content, there usually isn’t a lot of new information to gleam from books about money. Gave it 5 stars since I learned some new “corporate” concepts, beyond just personal finance.

Also this quote really hit: “Everything meaningful in life is about others. Your ability to support and love others and your willingness to let them love you. Nothing profound is achieved in isolation.”

For many people (myself included), the desire to achieve economic security is so you can do more for those you love.

About what you would expect really. Simultaneously too much and not enough.

I really enjoyed The Algebra of Wealth by Scott Galloway. The author strikes a balance between critiquing the market/system and pragmatically accepting that swift change is improbable, if not impossible. Galloway provides practical guidance on achieving financial success within the existing framework. His candor sets him apart from many other wealthy individuals, as he openly acknowledges the advantages he's had. Overall, I found this book to be both insightful and concise, and I would recommend it to everyone.
