This book—which in part sprang forth directly from client requests—is meant to communicate vital information that can help you, and your loved ones, live a better, richer, happier, and more productive life. So while we will cover investing, it won’t just be about investing in stocks, bonds, and land, but about investing in yourself as well. And while we will cover the realities and downsides of having to deal with other people, we will also consider that which has made America the greatest country in the history of the world. Our country is indeed exceptional, but this is not a birthright, nor is it guaranteed to last. The most important investment you’ll ever make is clearly in yourself—that is, in you personally, in your relevant skill-sets and knowledge, in your family, and in whatever helps you accumulate wisdom. Education is important, but wisdom is more important, and they are often not the same thing. This means that when you are evaluating whether to spend time and money on getting an advanced degree versus getting more real-world wisdom, you need to see things from the perspective of wisdom first so you can tell what would be more valuable and more productive for you.
