A must-have guide to optimizing your life for wealth and success, from bestselling author, NYU professor and Pivot podcast co-host Scott Galloway

Today's workers have more opportunities and mobility than any previous generation. They also face unprecedented challenges, including inflation, labour and housing shortages, and climate volatility.

Even the notion of 'retirement' is undergoing a profound rethink, as our lifespans extend and our relationship with work evolves. In this environment, the tried-and-true financial advice our parents followed no longer applies. It's time for a new playbook.

In The Algebra of Wealth, Galloway lays bare the rules of financial success in today's economy. In characteristic unvarnished, no-BS style, he explains you what you need to know in order to improve your chances of achieving economic security no matter what. You'll learn:

• How to find and follow your talent, not your passion, when making career decisions
• How to ride and optimize big economic waves (hard truth: market dynamics always trump individual achievement)
• What small steps you can take that pay big returns later, including diversification and tax planning
• How stoicism can help you minimize spending and develop better financial habits

Bursting with practical, game-changing advice from one of the world's most popular business school professors, The Algebra of Wealth is the practical guidebook you need to win today's wealth game.

Honest Practical Advice

Scott Galloway uniquely aligns factual, objective information with our need to connect as human beings authentically and passionately—my two main takeaways. Diversification is critical to true wealth, and the understanding that my mental well-being is foundational to appreciating other forms of wealth. Wealth goes beyond my monetary assets, and my relationships with my wife and children and my overall well-being are what I need to put in a hard effort every day. Thanks, Prof G, for writing this book and changing my life.

Excellent primer on wealth building

A very conversational and palatable exploration of the often complex and convoluted subject of building wealth. This is a truly valuable contribution in the area of financial literacy.

Excellent lessons for investing and life

An absolute must read for all ages but especially a young person starting out in life

Should be marked young adult

Swing and a miss from SG. Scott you need a new editor who is prepared to push back on this simplistic preachy stuff. Love the podcasts but this book is a hard AVIOD from me.
