Book Review: How much is enough?
Andrew Bradley
Walk into any major bookstore around the world and you will be faced with a whole section on self-help books, which mainly deal with what could be seen as practical advice on how to become financially independent.
One of the latest offerings is a book co-authored by Andrew Bradley, Arun Abey and Andrew Ford who have all spent a number of years researching this topic to write: How much is enough?
FAnews is giving away five copies to readers who want to get some new insight into other people’s thoughts on money management.
Wealth is about more than just money. But how can we come to grips with our finances at a time when no one seems to have enough? The authors of the book believe that the answer to that question lies beyond the balance sheet; it lies in the heart, mind and spirit of the individual investor.
The book provides a framework that will allow you to discover the optimal relationship between time, money and happiness in order to achieve both financial security and personal well-being. Essentially it will help you to have a conversation with your client about how much is enough for a decent retirement.
Through a holistic approach to wealth management, based on the premise that money is only one element in the overall chemistry of life, the book hopes to guide its readers on how to:
- Overcome the challenges that the brain’s hard-wiring and the environment place on your health and well-being.
- Plan and invest to achieve personal goals and aspirations.
- Become happier and avoid wealth destroying behaviour to improve investment returns.
- Help the younger generation to achieve financial security and assume financial responsibility.
The book combines the latest economic theory and behavioural research with compelling stories of those who have found peace beyond their bank accounts. These include accounts from the famous Warren Buffet, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, Raymond Ackerman, Bill Gates and Patrice Motsepe. The book is a perfect antidote to our acquisitive, materialistic times and is an interesting read for anyone who wants both financial wealth and personal well-being.
The book will be available at Exclusive Books and Amazon for R206.
