Finance β¦ Penny’s Take
The Way of Real Wealth
Mark Waldman Β· 1993
62/100
π Skip It
Mark Waldman was ahead of his time in asking people to examine the emotional and spiritual dimensions of money, and there is real value in that framing. But a 1993 publication date means some of the financial specifics have aged out, the spiritual pluralism will put off readers with strong single-faith commitments, and there is simply not enough critical track record to assess how well the exercises hold up. An interesting artifact of the values-based finance conversation, but not the strongest entry in that genre today.
