<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Consider this book a trail guide--helping you survive and thrive financially in this complex and unpredictable world in which we live.</b> <p/>Given how the coronavirus pandemic has rocked the economy, readers need a framework to make good financial decisions about their future, as well as support to psychologically handle the changing landscape. That's what Peter Neuwirth's six foundational principles of Holistic Financial Wellness can provide. <p/> Specifically, this book will help people understand and deal with the complexity of the system, the uncertainty of the future, the hidden agendas and misguided views of many advisors, and the built-in irrationality we have as humans that makes it so hard to survive--let alone thrive financially. <p/> As you will soon see, Neuwirth's advice on how to structure your financial world in order to withstand the inevitable systemic collapses that the global economy was destined to experience could have saved the average reader tens (if not hundreds of thousands) of dollars, had they adopted these suggestions before Covid-19 arrived in this country. More than that, by using the six foundational principles of Holistic Financial Wellness, the attentive reader will now be prepared psychologically to weather the aftermath of this crisis, and be ready to face the next one. <p/>"Peter gives readers needed guidance for surviving a complex financial future. This book empowers readers to plan for the predictable, and to be prepared for the unpredictable--without losing sight of the trail."<br> --Mike Kaplan, CEO, Rael & Letson <p/>"Pete's observations on how to ensure financial wellness over a lifetime are based on his deep knowledge of money and probability, complexity and change, and the quirks of human nature. The book is funny, frank, and realistic about how to navigate financially in an uncertain world."<br> --Peter Cahall, Chief Executive Officer, CapAcuity<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"In <i>Money Mountaineering</i>, Pete Neuwirth stands at the summit of a career devoted to real-world financial planning, and takes in the view.
