The Geometry of Wealth

Brian Portnoy

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.

Wealthfulness

Lance Alston

These days we have the whole world at our fingertips, so shouldn’t happiness be just as readily available? As more people continue to retire they are finding themselves in this strange stage of life that has never been better, but it doesn’t feel better. In spite of the fact that they may be doing well financially, in spite of modern technology, the internet, and greater total wealth than at any other time in history, happiness seems to be leveling off, if not declining. Experienced financial planner and consultant Lance Alston introduces his effective approach to discovering your combined emotional and financial needs. Wealthfulness is the balance of wealth and happiness, the combination of monetary success and meaningfulness. What financial endeavors are the wisest choices for us? How much time should we be spending investing, saving, and planning? How much money do we need to be truly happy in life? The answers to these questions are highly personal, and Alston helps us find each one, and plan accordingly by taking into account our individual personalities and circumstances.

The Operational Risk Handbook for Financial Companies

Brian Barnier

The Operational Risk Handbook for Financial Companies is a groundbreaking new book. It seeks to apply for the first time a range of proven operational risk techniques from other industries and disciplines to the troubled territory of financial services.
Operational risk expert Brian Barnier introduces a range of sophisticated, dependable and – crucially – approachable tools for risk evaluation, risk response and risk governance. He provides a more robust way of gaining a better picture of risks, shows how to build risk-return awareness into decision making, and how to fix (and not just report) risks.
The practical importance of fully understanding and acting on risk to the business begins in the foreword on plan-B thinking, penned by Marshall Carter, chairman of the NYSE and deputy chairman of NYSE Euronext.
The book is unique because:
– It is not just about modeling and a few basic tools derived from regulatory requirements. Instead, it looks at management of risk to operations across industries, professional disciplines and history to help ops risk leaders become aware of the entire landscape of proven experience, not just their own conference room.
– It is not just about compliance. Instead, it looks to operations as part of performance – managing risk to return for shareholders and other interests (e.g. guarantee funds).
– It is not content to look at risk in stand-alone segments or silos; instead it takes a systems approach.
– It is not just about ops risk leaders sharing war stories at a conference. Instead, it introduces a panel of six financial institution board members who get risk management and provide their perspectives throughout the book to encourage/demand more from ops risk to meet the needs of the institution in the world.
– It is not a semi-random collection of tips and tricks. Instead, it is grounded in a risk-management process flow tailored to financial companies from a range of proven experience, providing tools to help at each step.
Suitable for companies of all sizes, this book is of direct relevance and use to all business managers, practitioners, boards and senior executives. Key insights from and for each are built into every chapter, including unique contributions from board members of a range of companies.
The Operational Risk Handbook for Financial Companies is an essential book for making better decisions at every level of a financial company; ones that measurably improve outcomes for boards, managers, employees and shareholders alike.

Strategies for a Successful Retirement: Before, During, & After

John Jr. Lau

Preparation is the key to success in every stage of life, from grade school to college to entering the work force to marriage, and to retirement. The level of success depends largely on how well you prepare for the journey. This book is written to help retirees strategize and make the right choices in each phase of retirement – Before, During & After. The first four chapters of the book are written to help lay down a solid foundation for retirement – making the right choices about your company retirement plan; deciding when to take social security benefits, planning for healthcare and preparing a retirement budget. Once the foundation is secure and the financial landscape is in place, your retirement plan will need to be constantly monitored, pruned and maintained. Chapters five and six show how to plan for stable income and financial peace of mind during retirement while disinheriting the IRS from your retirement accounts. The final chapters are about estate planning. They address the need for an estate plan, identify the common mistakes that people make in the settlement and administration of their estates and show how to avoid them.
