The Art of Money: An Ultimate Guide To Pursuing A More Prosperous And Happier Life
It is not always about what you know when it comes to money. It is about how you act and choose to live your life. Moreover, the proper way of life is challenging to adopt, even for the most intelligent people.
Money-investing, personal finance, and lifestyle choices-is typically taught as math-based knowledge, with data and formulas guiding us. People do not make financial decisions on spreadsheets in the real world. They make them on the spur of the moment or in Starbucks, where personal beliefs, your unique worldview, ego, vanity, personality, and motivations are all scrambled together.
Author Mike Feng Zheng shares numerous stories, examples, and illustrations in The Art of Money that explore lifestyles influencing people's money management decisions. Mike also explains how everyone can be their financial advisor and fund manager and why we should all take complete control of our investments rather than relying on others.
