5.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to any Family Wealth bookshelf
Reviewed in Canada on December 19, 2018
Often when you pick up a book, you are satisfied if you get one or two good ideas that you can walk away with and put to use immediately. If you want to look at it that way, then Wealth of Wisdom is the equivalent of a whole section of a bookshelf.

The book covers a whole variety of different questions that wealthy families and their advisors are familiar with, and it provides very thoughtful answers to all of them, from some of the world's leading thinkers on the subject.'

While the subject matter is varied, it is also quite focused on the kinds of families that are truly striving to keep their wealth working for their families for generations to come, which is rarely an easy task.

This book will serve as a reference for me and for many others who are privileged to work with these kinds of families, and the short chapters will serve as great reading to inspire important conversations with family clients of mine going forward.

Reviewed in Canada on December 17, 2018
Wealth of Wisdom is a collection of essays from thought-leaders and expert practitioners. It may seem to be targeted at a financial audience, but the book contains lessons for everyone.

The book is broken down into 53 chapters which each contain a question and an essay response from an expert. The nice part about this layout is that you can easily focus on the chapters that interest you most.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great questions, answers less so
Reviewed in Canada on January 15, 2019
Verified Purchase
I wanted to like this book, I really did. The questions are exactly what I want answered when I'm thinking about my family's future. Unfortunately, the answering essays are just thoughts from a variety of people, many of whom aren't wealthy, and the thoughts themselves are presented in a way to make you think about the answers, but aren't actually answers. I was expecting a series of stories on each subject, like "Rockefeller did this and it worked out like so...", more Malcolm Gladwell, less Mark Twain. I applaud the authors for tackling a difficult set of subjects, but I was disappointed in the outcome.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book in wealth management
Reviewed in Canada on August 16, 2020
I am very grateful to authors for their efforts to collect and organize all the insights scattered in the family wealth management industry, just like stringing loose pearls into a beautiful necklace, so that everyone can appreciate the deep thinking of the most senior people in this industry. Reading this book multiple times has helped me to put myself in customers’ shoes, as we work together to explore the value and meaning of the existence and growth of their family; to provide genuine and effective communication with their family members; to conduct goal based and clear asset allocation; to leverage data technology and traditional wisdom to avoid/minimize risks; to prepare a suitable path for the growth of their next generation; and to think about the meaning of philanthropy and make philanthropic arrangements with them. From my perspective, this book is not just for wealthy families, the wisdom and experience shared in this book are invaluable for every ordinary family who seeks harmony, happiness and health.
I’m familiar with Confucius’ saying, “cultivate one’s morality, regulate one’s family, govern the country and bring peace to the world”. In terms of self-cultivation and family management, I am confident that " Wealth of Wisdom - The Top 50 Questions Wealthy Families Ask" will be able to provide the readers with a set of effective methods and theories.
Last but not least, the author's biography at the end of each chapter is particularly interesting, painting a dynamic career path in this industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding & highly practical book. Essential resource for families of wealth & their advisors.
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2020
Verified Purchase
This book is a true gem! All too often, wealthy families and their advisors fall into the trap of over focusing on the QUANTITATIVE side of wealth. Predictably, the lack of balance and under focus on the QUALITATIVE side of wealth can lead to problems.

This book provides an accessible way to open the door to thoughtfully exploring the qualitative questions around family wealth. The 50 question format, (including the 'Questions for Further Reflection' at the end of each chapter) and the complimentary 'Wealth of Wisdom' podcast provide an effective platform for family members in each generation to start exploring the questions most relevant for them.

Take a play out of the playbook of one family who brought copies of this book on vacation... leading to an important and meaningful fireside chat!

Wealth of Wisdom has some of the leading advisors, academics, inheritors, entrepreneurs, and authors giving invaluable advice. I like how the authors frame the key issues for families offices. It helps me as an advisor and Venture Capitalist better address the concerns of my existing Family Office clients as well as potential limited partners by putting topics in context and framing them in a manner that is meaningful to their needs and expectations.

This book is very unique because of the range of topics presented from advisors who are "in the trenches" and understand though their day to day encounters what matters to those who have wealth. Each Chapter is worth diving into. The thought provoking content is important for both advisors and families to read and discuss.
