WHO DOESN’T WANT TO BE richer and wiser and happier? We all do, sure. But getting there ain’t that easy. So, it is a good thing author/ journalist William Green has come along with his new book called, well Richer, Wiser, Happier: How the World’s Greatest Investors Win in Markets and Life (Scribner/Simon & Schuster).
The book, available now in all forms of media, takes lessons from some of the more famous money folks and shows us how to apply them to our own everyday lives. “It is remarkable,” Green says. “how consistently the greatest investors talk about…the importance of just avoiding catastrophe, staying in the game (and) surviving dips.”
I got to the bottom of that and more with William as part of my Newsweek/LinkedIn interview series, Better, where I talk with business leaders, authors and founders about their latest innovative ideas and trends.
Here are some takeaways and highlights, with a bonus post-interview question or two thrown in, from my conversation with Green. His answers have been edited for clarity.
