Working from the premise that “true wealth is the ability to underwrite a meaningful life”, Portnoy devotes the first third of the book into a cogent survey and primer on the nature of happiness and purpose. Drawing from a variety of different fields, from Seligman’s Positive Psychology, to Frankl’s “Man’s Search For Meaning”, to Kahneman’s Behavioral Economics, to neuropsychology and more, this section alone makes the book well worth the reader’s time. The balance of the book is a practical guide to setting priorities, making decisions, and executing a simple financial plan to fund a life well lived. Portnoy excels at distilling a wide range of ideas and domains into a simple, accessible and enjoyable book, with something in it for everyone. Review: Money, meaning, and the simplified path towards funded contentment - A look into the relationship between money and meaning. Portnoy suggests that wealth and investing are about funding contentment and underwriting a meaningful life, as defined by you. Not about getting rich, having "more," and losing yourself on the hedonic treadmill. He explains that simplification is the path towards effectively managing expectations in money and life–and the trajectory of a happy life is shaped by expectations. The Geometry of Wealth is as practical as it is philosophical. À la Charlie Munger, Portnoy emphasizes individual behavior, mainly self-control and self-awareness, as the most important factor in investment success. He suggests we focus on being "less wrong" over being "more right," in the sense that asset allocation is far more important than security selection and market timing. But he also takes a deeper look at experienced happiness, reflective happiness, expectations, and human nature which adds an entire extra dimension to this fascinating book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #466,315 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #241 in Investment Portfolio Management #296 in Investment Analysis & Strategy #368 in Introduction to Investing | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (366) | | Dimensions | 8.39 x 5.47 x 0.79 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0857196715 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0857196712 | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 232 pages | | Publication date | June 11, 2018 | | Publisher | Harriman House | ## Images ![The Geometry of Wealth: How to shape a life of money and meaning - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nqGEttHHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Two books in one… and something for everyone *by D***N on November 27, 2018* The Geometry of Wealth, by Brian Portnoy, stands out in the crowded bazaar of finance/personal investing literature by providing a powerfully unique perspective.

Portnoy suggests that wealth and investing are about funding contentment and underwriting a meaningful life, as defined by you.

I was really drawn to a lot of the discussion of happiness and satisfaction in life. The four C's really resonate with me. Connection. Control. Competence. Context. I think a whole book could (and should, Brian) be written about that and delving a little deeper with some actionable ways to increase these in one's life. The geometry of the shapes added some complexity for me that I did not think added a lot of symbolism or helpful connection. As a financial professional very familiar with all of the finance and investing concepts in this book, but I do think a lot of the points are very relevant for most audiences. If you are a doctor for example, I think you should read this book. The chart on page 152 and the discussion of the narrowness of stock market winners is really the most fascinating part for me from an investment perspective. It is hard to believe that over a 90 year period, only 4% of companies explain the net gain for the entire US stock market! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/80050214-the-geometry-of-wealth-how-to-shape-a-life-money](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/80050214-the-geometry-of-wealth-how-to-shape-a-life-money) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
