Why read it?
2 authors picked A Wealth of Well-Being as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Because it discussed behaviors, emotions and much more than just money. As the title suggests - A Holistic Approach
The book was, for me, an inspiring journey and an enriching learning experience. While conventional behavioral finance tends to analyze deviations from rationality within economic decisions, this book diverges, offering a holistic behavioral framework.
I like that the book views individuals not merely as economic agents but as complete beings, with financial well-being acting as a gauge for overall life prosperity. I believe that Prof. Statman's third generation of behavioral finance represents a paradigm shift towards a constructive scientific approach. I fully share its primary objective to empower individuals in their pursuit of personal fulfillment and satisfaction.
From Enrico's list on diving into the next generation of behavioral finance.
