AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A must-have guide to optimizing your life for wealth and success, from bestselling author, NYU professor, and cohost of the Pivot podcast Scott Galloway

Today’s workers have more opportunities and mobility than any generation before. They also face unprecedented challenges, including inflation, labor 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 is no longer enough. It’s time for a new playbook.

In The Algebra of Wealth, Scott Galloway lays bare the rules of financial success in today’s economy. In his characteristic unvarnished, no-BS style, he explains what you need to know in order to better your chances for economic security no matter what. You’ll learn:

  • How to find and follow your talent, not your passion, when making career decisions
  • How to ride and optimize big economic waves (hard truth: market dynamics always trump individual achievement)
  • What small steps you can take that pay big returns later, including diversification and tax planning
  • How stoicism can help you minimize spending and develop better financial habits

Brimming with wise, game-changing advice from one of the world’s most popular business school professors, The Algebra of Wealth offers a powerful framework for making the most of what opportunities come your way.

Critic reviews

“Profoundly insightful and a joy to read. Few explain complicated topics better than Scott Galloway.”—Morgan Housel, New York Times bestselling author of The Psychology of Money

“The decisions you make at the beginning of your professional life have a compounding impact on your chances of success, and this invaluable guide will steer you toward an optimal outcome.”—Annie Duke, bestselling author of Thinking in Bets

The Algebra of Wealth is a book that is about far more than investing and wealth. It’s about how your life choices play out in your financial standing and wealth, and Scott delivers his lessons with humor and panache. I cannot recommend it strongly enough!"—Aswath Damodaran, professor of finance, Stern School of Business, NYU

Great, no BS advice and overview of wealth generation

I appreciated the practical advice, the 'big picture' overview of how our capitalist society works, how you can ethically prosper, and how you can avoid the common pitfalls on your path toward financial security.

Interesting!

I know very little about stocks and bonds (and financial terminology such as this) but this book was valuable! He explained things so well and gave insightful advice on how to manage your money.

Excellent!

He doesn’t dumb the content down or talk over your head. I only wish I had access to this knowledge when I was younger. But I’m so grateful I have it now.
