Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Geometry of Wealth
Brian Portnoy · 2025
🎙 Narrated by John Chancer
74/100
👍 Worth It
Portnoy's circle-triangle-square framework is a genuinely useful way to think about money as a tool for a meaningful life rather than a scoreboard, and it's grounded in real behavioral science rather than hype. The 2025 audio edition is well-narrated and easy to follow, even though the core material is a few years old now.
