About this book

‘You need this book.' Steven Bartlett, author of The Diary of a CEO The world is changing. It's time for a new financial playbook. In this must-have guide to optimizing your life for wealth, success and happiness, you'll learn: • how to find and follow your talent • what small steps you can take now that pay big returns later • how to develop better financial habits Bursting with practical, game-changing advice from one of the world's most popular business school professors, The Algebra of Wealth is the practical guidebook you need to win today's wealth game. Today's workers have more opportunities and mobility than any previous generation. They also face unprecedented challenges, including inflation, labour and housing shortages, and climate volatility. Even the notion of 'retirement' is undergoing a profound rethink, as our lifespans extend and our relationship with work evolves. In this environment, the tried-and-true financial advice our parents followed no longer applies. In The Algebra of Wealth, Galloway lays bare the rules of financial success in today's economy. In characteristic unvarnished, no-BS style, he explains you what you need to know in order to improve your chances of achieving economic security no matter what.
