Brooks, Professor, Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School, and #1 New York Times bestselling authorFrom the author of the international blockbuster, THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY, a powerful new tool to unlock one of life&’s most challenging puzzles.Every investment plan under the sun is, at best, an informed speculation of what may happen in the future, based on a systematic extrapolation from the known past.Same as Ever reverses the process, inviting us to identify the many things that never, ever change.With his usual elan, Morgan Housel presents a master class on optimizing risk, seizing opportunity, and living your best life. Through a sequence of engaging stories and pithy examples, he shows how we can use our newfound grasp of the unchanging to see around corners, not by squinting harder through the uncertain landscape of the future, but by looking backwards, being more broad-sighted, and focusing instead on what is permanently true.

Experienced financial planner and consultant Lance Alston introduces his effective approach to discovering your combined emotional and financial needs. …
These days we have the whole world at our fingertips, so shouldn&’t happiness be just as readily available? As more people continue to retire, they are finding themselves in this strange stage of life that has never been better, but it doesn&’t feel better. In spite of the fact that they may be doing well financially, in spite of modern technology, the internet, and greater total wealth than at any other time in history, happiness seems to be leveling off, if not declining. Wealthfulness is the balance of wealth and happiness, the combination of monetary success and meaningfulness. What financial endeavors are the wisest choices for us? How much time should we be spending investing, saving, and planning? How much money do we need to be truly happy in life? The answers to these questions are highly personal, and Lance Alston helps us find each one, and plan accordingly by taking into account our individual personalities and circumstances. &“While most financial planners bury their clients in graphs, numbers and fin-tech gibberish, Lance Alston has provided readers with an easily understood map of what a Buddhist might call &‘Right Money.&’&”—Scott Burns, nationally syndicated financial columnist &“Lance Alston takes a bold step with Wealthfulness, pitting research and data against the prevailing bad behavior of Wall Street.
