Change Your Mindset and Stay Wealthy Getting rich and staying rich are two totally different challenges. Strange as it may sound, holding on to wealth often turns out to be harder for families than getting it in the first place. The majority of wealthy Americans fail to keep their fortunes in the family for more than a single generation—and many don’t make it that far. Most people don’t realize that the mindset you need to achieve wealth is not the same as the one you need to protect it. If you want to hang on to your wealth throughout your lifetime, and especially if you want to pass it on to future generations, this book about the psychology of staying rich will start you down the right road. Ted Oakley offers a no-nonsense, no-gimmick assessment customized to high net worth families with the most to lose.

The continued quest for financial balance ​The one factor that weighs most on investor peace of mind is balance. It seems like such a simple premise—just a comfortable, equitable relationship between elements. We seek it in every area of our lives—between work and rest, between health and indulgence, between being aggressive and being passive. But balance isn’t always easy to find or choose—especially when it comes to money. Somehow a lot of people have a much harder time saying no to risky investments than they do to an extra slice of cake or one too many cocktails—even though the fallout of one terrible investment mistake can last a lifetime. Here’s the bare-bones truth: If you are an investor, somewhere along the line you need to get settled with the way you manage your assets, finding the balance that allows you to both achieve gains and be at ease with your strategy. If you don’t, you’ll end up an emotional mess—always looking back, wondering what if, bogged down with regret. You could spend years chasing and losing. That’s not just a worst-case scenario—it’s a reality I see investors living every day. In Stay Rich with a Balanced Portfolio, Ted Oakley explores the concepts and strategies every investor should consider in the continuous quest for financial balance and the confidence that comes with it.

Bestselling author Michael Shermer's exploration of science and morality that demonstrates how the scientific way of thinking has made people, and society as a whole, more moral From Galileo and Newton to Thomas Hobbes and Martin Luther King, Jr., thinkers throughout history have consciously employed scientific techniques to better understand the non-physical world. The Age of Reason and the Enlightenment led theorists to apply scientific reasoning to the non-scientific disciplines of politics, economics, and moral philosophy. Instead of relying on the woodcuts of dissected bodies in old medical texts, physicians opened bodies themselves to see what was there; instead of divining truth through the authority of an ancient holy book or philosophical treatise, people began to explore the book of nature for themselves through travel and exploration; instead of the supernatural belief in the divine right of kings, people employed a natural belief in the right of democracy. In The Moral Arc, Shermer will explain how abstract reasoning, rationality, empiricism, skepticism--scientific ways of thinking--have profoundly changed the way we perceive morality and, indeed, move us ever closer to a more just world.

This edited volume focuses on different views of happiness and well-being, considering constructs like meaning and spirituality in addition to the more standard constructs of positive emotion and life satisfaction. A premise of the volume is that being happy consists of more than having the right things happen to us; it also depends on how we interpret those events as well as what we are trying to achieve. Such considerations suggest that cognitive-emotional factors should play a fairly pronounced role in how happy we are. The present volume pursues these themes in the context of 25 chapters organized into 5 sections. The first section centers on cognitive variables such as attention and executive function, in addition to mindfulness. The second section considers important sources of positive cognition such as savoring and optimism and the third section focuses on self-regulatory contributions to well-being. Finally, social processes are covered in a fourth section and meaning-related processes are covered in the fifth. What results is a rich and diverse volume centering on the ways in which our minds can help or hinder our aspirations for happiness.
