Money is not enough to make you happy. We’re constantly told that money is the shortcut to a good life, the only type of wealth worth pursuing. But what would it mean to lead a truly wealthy life?

In The 5 Types of Wealth, Sahil Bloom offers a transformative guide, full of practical steps and actionable insights, for redesigning your life around five types of wealth: Time, Social, Mental, Physical, and Financial.

John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world.

He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, and stole women's undergarments. Obedience school did no good - Marley was expelled.

When planning for the future we often ask, “What will the economy be doing this time next year?” Or, “What will be different ten years from now?” But forecasting is hard. The important events that will shape the future are inherently unpredictable. Instead, we should be asking a different question: What will be the same ten years from now? What will be the same one hundred years from now? Knowledge of the things that never change is more useful, and more important, than an uncertain prediction of an unknowable future.
