None of us want to
spend the best years
of our lives climbing
mountains, which, at
the end, we realise
were the wrong ones.
Methods and practices
to help cultivate wealth:
• The vast importance of using “wealth
words” versus victim speak.
• The value of setting up a “Dead Board
of Directors”.
• Why one should take baths in a forest
and breathe like a samurai.
• The wisdom of creating “an anti-hero
scenario” to subtly scare yourself into
leaving a life of complacency and ordinary.
I’ve done my best to make this book like a
conversation. Just me and the reader. There are
parts where I bring the reader into my library at
the farmhouse I live in and talk about the books
that have transformed me. At other parts of
the book, I’m on the road and sharing valuable
(and sometimes strange) experiences that will
reward the reader with real wealth.
‘Money’ is actually the fifth form of wealth.
This is certainly not a book that’s anti-financial
success! Money is important. It allows us to
put food on the family table, do great things
for the people we love, make choices that make
us happy versus ones that we’re forced to make
and it allows us to contribute to those in need.
So there are 20 short chapters under
‘Money’ that will show readers exactly how
the world’s richest people think, act and
accomplish their results.
But I explain that while money is important,
it’s only one of the eight forms of wealth. It’s a
wonderful servant but a tragic God.
If I’ve done my job correctly, this book will
absolutely transform how people see success
and live their days.
I hope readers of The Wealth Money Can’t
Buy will use the information in the book to
fundamentally live much richer, happier,
healthier and more prosperous lives! The world
is a messy place right now and as each of us
makes our lives richer, we brighten the world in
the process.
And as for ‘how can they practically apply’
the ideas? Well, it’s like any project in life: the
best way to change is to start. Take small steps
daily. Be consistent. When you stumble, get
up again. Over time, life will reward you with
gorgeous returns.”
Build a mindset that values the
forms of wealth that money
can’t buy by:
How to effectively manage your
time to enhance overall wealth:
• Reading books of wisdom that
remind you what’s most important
to a well-lived life.
• Meditating alone, slowing things
down and deeply reflecting on
what’s most important to you.
Writing in a journal each morning
is always a fantastic ritual.
• Associating ourselves with people
who prioritise health, happiness,
inner peace and making a difference
over fast cars, shiny possessions
and having a ton of money as a
badge of success.
The Wealth Money
Can’t Buy hits
shelves in April.
• Get up at 5 am and spend an hour
getting fitter, wiser, happier and
more peaceful. This morning routine
has helped millions of people around
the world find true and lasting wealth.
It works!
• Stop playing with your phone all day
and live a real life.
• Become a minimalist, focusing on
being great at just ‘The 8 Forms
of Wealth’ and removing all other
complexity and distractions from
your days. Less is more!
• Prioritise sleep, as we are at our
best when we are well rested.
