You’d love his book. His intelligent thoughts combine with his personal journey of how he evolved them, and he’s one of those deeply real, warm human beings so a book that might have been intimidating is more of an adventure story than an economics class.

Right on, Weston! I hope your shout-out for Joel encourages anyone with a decent amount of savings or investment capital to listen to what he has to say. People by and large don’t get a good education in the enlightened handling of money and Joel delivers that beautifully. We are lucky to know him!

I keep my eyes open for where I can deliver Joel’s work and message. One of the realities of life, it seems to me, is that there isn’t a broad enough understanding about what Joel is talking about, so people like us don’t even realize how out of synch with what’s optimum we are.

I approached Joel’s book with trepidation, but it was so engagingly written, where his flesh and blood world intertwined with the money world, that I became grateful for the exposure to such basic realities in a way that I was able to grasp them. He is such a commendable human being, and I was inspired by him to be a more responsible spender.
