Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Thin Green Line
Paul Sullivan · 2016
76/100
👍 Worth It
Sullivan's central distinction between being rich and being wealthy sounds simple, but he builds a genuinely useful framework around it using behavioral economics and candid personal reflection. Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and Bloomberg Businessweek all found it worthwhile, and the narrative drive keeps what could be dry material readable. The upper-income focus will make some readers feel it is not quite speaking to them, but the underlying principles translate broadly.
