An Embarrassment of Riches

Alexander Green has spent 16 years working on Wall Street and has continued his career as a very successful investment professional. Along the way, however, he has adopted a unique philosophy that he has taught others about his spiritual approach to financial planning. Here, he walks readers through choices they can make to lead a more satisfying professional and personal life, accumulating wealth if they choose to, but also making choices that are not solely determined by financial aspirations. As he has said, "You can't put a price on freedom, especially personal freedom. It may mean you have to change your lifestyle, buy a smaller house or one car, instead of two." In thinking about work, Green's philosophy is that people can experiment and take risks, and ask themselves if they are enjoying their work or putting themselves out to the highest bidder.
