About The Book
Who’s happier, a family of adventurers traveling in a motorhome or a family earning millions of dollars and buying the very best stuff? There’s no way to answer that question. But after traveling the world for seven years, I know where the odds are higher. This is based on anecdotal observations and robust, behavioral scientific studies. And those stories and studies are referenced in, Balance: How to Invest and Spend for Happiness, Health and Wealth.
Sure, the book explains evidence-based strategies for providing the best odds of success in the stock market. But it’s more than that. It helps you answer important questions:
How can we boost longevity, wealth and happiness?

We all want the best out of life. So allow this book to take you on a holistic journey of success.
