Leo Tolstoy said, "Nobody knows where the human race is going. The highest wisdom, then, is to know where you are going." Yet many today chase the false rabbits of success: status, luxury, reputation and material possessions. In the quest to "have it all," our lives often lack real meaning and purpose. Beyond Wealth is the antidote.

New York Times bestselling author Alexander Green takes things right down to brass tacks: We are here for a short time. Knowledge is limitless. Therefore, the most critical knowledge is not any particular skill but rather wisdom about "how to live." Fortunately, men and women have had several thousand years to think about what it means to live "the good life." And the answers found here, from Plato and Aristotle to Mahatma Gandhi and Stephen Hawking, will both surprise and delight you.

Beyond Wealth provides insightful commentary on the most important aspects of our lives: love, work, honor, trust, freedom, death, fear, truth, beauty and other timeless issues. The book is both a thought provoking read and the ideal gift, guaranteed to ennoble, uplift and inspire.

From the Inside Flap

beyond WEALTH
What does it mean to be truly wealthy?

As a longtime financial writer and nationally acclaimed investment advisor, Alexander Green understands the importance of money. But in this insightful and inspiring new book, he looks beyond traditional measures of wealth to explore how a rich life is one of significance, not just financial success.

As Green observes, money creates wealth, but so do character, conscience, attitude, and wisdom. Only by incorporating each of these elements into your day-to-day existence can you experience what the ancients called "the good life."

A generous, wide-ranging inquiry into what matters most, Beyond Wealth is a road map to a rich life, to what the author calls "True Wealth."

The book contains more than sixty-five commentaries on topics ranging from love, health, leisure, honor, courage, trust, philosophy, history, science, and spirituality. And the author's perspective on each subject is broadened and deepened by liberal quotations from Shakespeare, Thoreau, Emerson, Gandhi, Einstein, Tolstoy, and other great minds.

Beyond Wealth is full of practical wisdom. Yet it is also a book of contemplations, promoting both greater understanding and deep reflection. Each piece can be read alone and is characterized by brevity, wit, and a liveliness of mind that recalls the best of Montaigne and Swift.

Combining personal anecdotes with provocative insights and timeless truths, Beyond Wealth is a fascinating exploration of the unique intersection between money, personal fulfillment, and successful living.

Alexander Green is the Chief Investment Strategist for The Oxford Club, the world’s largest financial fellowship with more than 110,000 Members. He worked as an investment advisor, research analyst and portfolio manager on Wall Street for 16 years. After developing his extensive knowledge and achieving financial independence, he retired at the age of 43.

Since then, he has been living “the second half of his life.” He runs The Oxford Communiqué, which has been ranked as one of the top investment newsletters by Hulbert Digest for more than a decade. He also operates three fast-paced trading services: The Momentum Alert, The Insider Alert and The True Value Alert.

He prefers working as a writer instead of as a licensed investment advisor because he can give advice freely, write what he wants about the market and be completely objective in his recommendations.

Alexander Green is really good at what he does for a Living: He analyzes the financial balance sheets of corporations and has helped a couple of hundred thousand people invest prudently. For this service he has been very successful, financially.

In his spare time he enjoys writing essays. According to Wikipedia "In some countries (e.g., the United States and Canada), essays have become a major part of formal education. Secondary students are taught structured essay formats to improve their writing skills; admission essays are often used by universities in selecting applicants, and in the humanities and social sciences essays are often used as a way of assessing the performance of students during final exams." In other words, an essay can make or break a person's life, open doors, or slam them in our faces. They are brief bodies of deeply felt and thoroughly researched personal knowledge. Often an essay works magically as a song or a poem.

The author has collected six scores of his best essays; they are thoughtful, respectful and helpful. They are readable by almost any person, of any age and background. The insights offered are honest, personal and resonate as only wisdom can sing.

He quotes Dr. Joel Primack, a distinguished professor of physics at the University of California: Without a meaningful, believable story that explains the world we actually live in, people have no idea how to think about the big picture. And without a big picture, we are very small people.' p.269

It took this reader 2011-2021 to read, reflect upon and digest these Six Scores of essays. They have all been worth infinitely more than the monetary cost of the book: The author quotes Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of Treasure Island, "To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end in life. p. 283.

The essays are brief read-alouds that would work well with a book club, a high school or college literature, philosophy or comparative world religion class. Where relationships permit it, they are inspiring Socratic Blessings between Elders and young people.

Alexander Green has made enough money to be 'rich,' but he has discovered that creating a 'rich' personal life is an entirely different challenge. It is 'beyond wealth.'

Beyond Wealth: The Roadmap to a Rich Life

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 19, 2013

I have been investing for myself since 1983, and, when I began, I invested in America's Finest Companies, according to Bill Staton. I did well, it was slow and boring, so, when Bill retired (probably to start spending his money), and I totally lost focus. The stock market was on fire, and there were so many things and sectors that were doing well.

Not to disparage Money Magazine, but it became my stock advisory. Believe it or not, on its recommendation, I bought 2 shares of Berkshire Hathaway at $8,000, and, when it hit $13,000, I sold it, but I needed that money to pay income taxes. I thought I was a stock-picker, a real guru, and it worked for a long time. My portfolio really took off.

Live and learn. While I didn't lose my shirt when the tech bubble burst, because I pretty much stayed away from them, I lost half the value of what was, at least for me, a pretty good foundation for a retirement plan. Then, I started gambling, and I subscribed to a handful of stock advisory newsletters. I invested and lost a lot more money in Chinese stocks that sounded too good to fail, but did. That did it for me. I had a big wake-up call and realized that, what had been going well for me in the beginning, was still going well. I had been chasing rabbits, and it was exciting while it lasted, but the slow-moving tortoise beats the hare every time. You must believe that, and, while watching a race between them may not be very exciting, if you invest in large, blue-chip American companies, with international exposure and long histories of paying and growing their dividends, you cannot go wrong. Now, I'm back where I started, and I kick myself for not staying the course for the past 30 years. If I had, I'd be wealthy enough to think that I just might be able to retire. This book is good, it's easy to read and it lives up to it 's title.

Vegetable Soup for the Soul

The majority of my waking hours involve reading vastly complicated financial material and data analysis. I am so busy in fact that the topics of deepest meaning I truly wish to understand receive just five to ten minutes of reading at the beginning of the day. This book sits on my bed-stand for tomorrow's short but meaningful grab and read session as I wake up with my morning green tea. I read it to remind myself of the surprising characteristics of what millionaires are really like; why you can't reach your potential of living life to the fullest if you spend your days swimming in concerns about money; how giving up the dream of "having it all" is often the first step in the right direction. Why spending time with nature will improve your cognition; the importance of cultivating meaningful, human relationships; how to bring the zeal of adventure back into your life; how to eat like a Zen Master; how the teachings of Buddha can make you a better investor; the fact that 80% of Americans are scientifically illiterate and how to easily correct this problem if you are one of them, and most importantly how to use negative visualization to deeply appreciate what you already have. Finally the book ends with a surprisingly excellent recipe for Alex's Mom's insanely great vegetable soup. I strongly recommend you put Alex Green's "Beyond Wealth" on your bed-stand!

It started really well and contained some good insights. But it felt really longer towards the end. Here and there you will find some very good piece of advice, but you really have to read longer to find something worth remembering

Every one of Green’s books and essays has struck a chord with me and I look forward to reading everything he puts out in the future. This book is a collection of short essays about our relationship with money and how to live a “rich” life. Although many of the ideas presented are timeless, Alex Green brings a new and insightful light to them. I really enjoy Green’s straight forward writing style. He doesn't write to impress, he writes to succinctly present and prove his points. This book covers the gamut: from money management to personal psychology to ancient religion. As a young person still trying to find his way in the world I devour books and articles written by people who seem to have it all figured out.
