When most people think about wealth, they picture money and jewels, estates and yachts and vacation homes. They all miss the point. By the time you finish this book, you'll understand that wealth is really about Families! Building and sustaining family relationships is the essence of protecting and preserving family wealth. Whether you come from old money or just hit the jackpot, you'll only find happiness if you understand your family dynamic. In fact, money can buy a lot of unhappiness if you don't handle it right. Here you'll find two hundred axioms -- some light-hearted and some hard-hitting -- to stimulate your thinking about wealth and illuminate the family system at its heart. Each addresses the often-dramatic impact wealth has on families, whether it involves a hundred thousand dollars or a hundred million. Don't underestimate these simple axioms. They comprise extremely important, even life-changing, advice. Many statements are direct and blunt, some even cynical, but all will open your eyes and help you look beyond the technical side of wealth to the emotion-based issues and dynamics of the family.
