How I Invest My Money Volume Two: More finance experts reveal how they save, spend, and invest

"It's time to once again pull back the curtain on the world of investment, with personal finance stories from the people who shape the markets. In How I Invest My Money: Volume Two, Brian Portnoy spotlights a new group of financial experts - from portfolio managers and financial advisors to fintech founders and thought leaders - who offer candid insights into their personal financial decisions. They challenge conventional wisdom, reflect on risks taken and rewards earned, and reveal how their strategies have evolved over time. Returning voices from Volume One, including Morgan Housel and Christine Benz, also share how they manage their own money today: What's changed, what still works, and the lessons they've learned along the way. These updated excerpts sit alongside the new contributions from some of the biggest names in the industry including Barry Ritholtz, Kyla Scanlon, Ben Hunt and many, many more. What emerges is a powerful reminder: everyone manages money differently. And that our ultimate 'benchmark' for success is never a market index. It is executing a financial plan that aligns with your values, goals, and a life of contentment and purpose. Learn from the experts and achieve your financial goals."

The Geometry of Wealth: How to shape a life of money and meaning

"Joint Gold medallist of the Axiom Business Book Award 2019 - Personal Finance/Retirement Planning/Investing How does money figure into a happy life? In The Geometry of Wealth, behavioral finance expert Brian Portnoy delivers an inspired answer, building on the critical distinction between being rich and being wealthy. While one is an unsatisfying treadmill, the other is the ability to underwrite a meaningful life, however one chooses to define that. Truly viewed, wealth is funded contentment. At the heart of this groundbreaking perspective, Portnoy takes readers on a journey toward wealth, informed by disciplines ranging from ancient history to modern neuroscience. He contends that tackling the big questions about a joyful life and tending to financial decisions are complementary, not separate, tasks. These big questions include: - How is the human brain wired for two distinct experiences of happiness? And why can money "buy" one but not the other? - What are the touchstones of a meaningful life, and are they affordable? - Why is market savvy among the least important sources of wealth but self-awareness is among the most? - How does one strike a balance between striving for more while being content with enough? This journey memorably contours along three basic shapes: A circle, triangle and square help us to visualize how we adapt to evolving circumstances, set clear priorities, and find empowerment in simplicity. In this accessible and entertaining book, Portnoy reveals that true wealth is achievable for many - including those who despair it is out of reach - but only in the context of a life in which purpose and practice are thoughtfully calibrated."

How I Invest My Money: Finance experts reveal how they save, spend, and invest

"The world of investing normally sees experts telling us the 'right' way to manage our money. How often do these experts pull back the curtain and tell us how they invest their own money? Never. How I Invest My Money changes that. In this unprecedented collection, 25 financial experts share how they navigate markets with their own capital. In this honest rendering of how they invest, save, spend, give, and borrow, this group of portfolio managers, financial advisors, venture capitalists and other experts detail the 'how' and the 'why' of their investments. They share stories about their childhood, their families, the struggles they face and the aspirations they hold. Sometimes raw, always revealing, these stories detail the indelible relationship between our money and our values. Taken as a whole, these essays powerfully demonstrate that there is no single 'right' way to save, spend, and invest. We see a kaleidoscope of perspectives on stocks, bonds, real assets, funds, charity, and other means of achieving the life one desires. With engaging illustrations throughout by Carl Richards, How I Invest My Money inspires readers to think creatively about their financial decisions and how money figures in the broader quest for a contented life. With contributions from: Morgan Housel, Christine Benz, Brian Portnoy, Joshua Brown, Bob Seawright, Carolyn McClanahan, Tyrone Ross, Dasarte Yarnway, Nina O'Neal, Debbie Freeman, Shirl Penney, Ted Seides, Ashby Daniels, Blair duQuesnay, Leighann Miko, Perth Tolle, Josh Rogers, Jenny Harrington, Mike Underhill, Dan Egan, Howard Lindzon, Ryan Krueger, Lazetta Rainey Braxton, Rita Cheng, Alex Chalekian"
