Embarrassment of Riches An -...

Alexander Green

Alexander Green has spent 16 years working on Wall Street and has  continued his career as a very successful investment professional.  Along the way, however, he has adopted a unique philosophy that he  has taught others about his spiritual approach to financial  planning. Here, he walks readers through choices they can make to  lead a more satisfying professional and personal life, accumulating  wealth if they choose to, but also making choices that are not  solely determined by financial aspirations. As he has said, "You  can't put a price on freedom, especially personal freedom. It may  mean you have to change your lifestyle, buy a smaller house or one  car, instead of two." In thinking about work, Green's philosophy is  that people can experiment and take risks, and ask themselves  if they are enjoying their work or putting themselves out to the  highest bidder.
