Opis

Jacob Burak's perceptive, lucid, witty, best-selling meditation on the place of money in society, the challenges of decision making, the role of humility in success, and our limitations vis-a-vis our large appetites for success, money and happiness. Using anecdotes, stories, research and interviews, this seriously entertaining guide to the true good life should be read by everyone interested in finding answers to questions such as: * Why we overwork ourselves so that we can retire in comfort, without realizing that it is easier to get rich than it is retire? * How much control do we have over our own happiness? * Who has a greater chance of being a successful entrepreneur? * Are women better investors than men? * Does trust pay? * How important is birth order in determining entrepreneurial success, and why don't first-born children like to take risks? * What is the connection between the length of a woman's skirt and fluctuations in the stock market?"
