The Investor's Guide to Joy
How to align wealth with who you are, and live the life you were meant for.
Financial gain alone can leave you unfulfilled. This book is not about growing your wealth for its own sake — it's about finding joy and meaning in the journey. Six chapters, each one a stage: belief, skills, process, people, purpose, and impact.
