À propos de cet audio
How does money figure into a happy life? In The Geometry of Wealth, behavioral finance expert Brian Portnoy delivers an inspired answer based on the idea that wealth, truly defined, is funded contentment. It is the ability to underwrite a meaningful life. This stands in stark contrast to angling to become rich, which is usually an unsatisfying treadmill.
At the heart of this groundbreaking perspective, Portnoy takes listeners 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?
- Are the touchstones of a meaningful life affordable?
- Why is market savvy among the least important sources of wealth but self-awareness is among the most?
- Can we strike a balance between pushing for more and being content with enough?
This journey memorably contours along three basic shapes: A circle, triangle, and square help us visualize how we adapt to evolving circumstances, set clear priorities, and find empowerment in simplicity. In this accessible and entertaining audiobook, 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.

authors should read their own books.
In this day and age(of podcasts), I don't understand why authors don't just read their own books.
One of the only downsides of this book is the pretense of false accents and the occasional but difficult to understand - Stanford and Poor's mix up by the narrator - I assume he meant to say standard and poor's but noone seemed to notice he had made the mix up(editors, publisher et al).
The other issue I take with the book is that the author tends to offer the thoughts of others and inconsistently cites that they are the work of someone else. I'm not sure if this is a purposeful decision, of either wanting to keep things concise or to appear more intelligent or if it is just the authors natural style of writing - or a combination of the 2 (or 3). An editor seems like they might have caught this, but then the editor might need to be as well read as the author seems to be.
Overall this is a strong book, a good starting point for someone who wants to take this topic seriously.

You can’t hear it too many times
Understanding why we do what we do when handling money and investments creates the opportunity to not make the same mistakes that most make.
This book is right up there with the Psychology of Money, Winning the Losers Game and a Random Walk Down Wall Street.
Will listen to it again.
A few errors by the narrator but all in all, a good listen.

Nothing new
No strong thesis, restating fairly simple concepts for most of the book. “Geometry” doesn’t meaningfully factor in either.
