The book is written by a lawyer who outlines how to preserve family wealth. Easy to understand, brings up new ideas you may not have thought of such as addressing substance abuse right away and the risks of perpetual trusts. If you have a Trust or are planning to create one, this book is the best I’ve read on the right way to think about it. As someone who is the beneficiary of a Trust, a grantor and a Trustee, I’m delighted to hear these ideas before I present Trusts to my children. Beyond families with wealth, this book is ideal for financial planners, lawyers, accountants or other investment professionals with high net worth clients.

The writer is a very dynamic thinker and it really shows in his ability to cover a multitude of topics. i would argue that everyone, with or without the conscious desire for wealth, should read this book!

It will teach you how to be a good steward of your wealth, family, groups, and your life overall, should you study and apply the ideologies in this book.

I will be purchasing the physical book and re-reading this for many years to come, if not centuries!

Very multi-faceted book!!! I will re-read this many times!

I think there were a lot of great insights and thoughts in this book. The downside, as with most books of this type, while great at identifying concerns, they don’t provide a lot of great solutions.

Really good
