Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Pillars of Wealth Book 1
Yuval Bar-Or · 2014
74/100
👍 Worth It
Yuval Bar-Or fills a real gap: a jargon-free financial guide written specifically for physicians and other high-income professionals who have large debt, limited time, and no formal money training. The Johns Hopkins pedigree is earned, the plain-language approach is genuinely executed, and the author-narrated audiobook adds credibility. Outside the medical-professional audience it loses its edge, and the 2014 publication means some tax and investment details will need updating.
