Book excerpt: Every day of the week, millions of Americans rely on their attorneys to navigate wills and contracts, divorces and disputes. They see their doctors to treat their maladies, their accountants to do their taxes, and their financial advisors to guide them as they grow and manage their wealth. We need these professionals. We depend on their expertise. We look to them to help us understand an increasingly complex world.Which is why it's time to stop for a minute and ask: what are these people thinking about every day? What do the professionals with the deepest amount of expertise when it comes to our health, wealth, and legal problems have to say about our society, their chosen fields, and our misconceptions about all of the above? What would a lawyer actually tell you if the filter came off? What would a financial planner who has seen it all really say?In this book, a respected, successful, refreshingly irreverent and often hilarious financial advisor with thirty years of experience wrangling IRAs, 401(k)s and ETFs (oh my!) takes the time to tell you exactly what you need to know about Wall Street, about what an advisor can and cannot really do for you, and about how to rise above all the noise in the media-and within your own circle of often-misguided family and friends-to build real wealth.Read this book to find out why, for example, you DON'T want your company to offer you the cheapest 401(k) available. Read on to learn why it's time to turn off the news and put your focus somewhere else if you want to be an effective investor. Read on to learn why fees aren't killing you, your habits are. Trust me. It'll be fun."This book should be banned." Wall Street*"Read this book immediately and do not call me again until you've finished it."
