Publisher's summary

This is not a boring discussion of life insurance written for actuaries, accountants and attorneys. Instead, it's a collection of love stories told through the words of husbands and wives, moms, dads, and their families of how each was forever impacted by an act of love demonstrated through the simple purchase of a life insurance policy. Important lessons are woven through these real stories, instead of imaginary accounts where everything goes right and there's always a happy ending. Sometimes life is difficult, but a disciplined thoughtful approach may prepare your family to preserve their respect and dignity even during the most challenging circumstances. These stories share the pain, anxiety and joy experienced by loved ones while illuminating the tools that you can use to take charge of your own financial life for the certainty and security for those you love.

As you listen to Investments Don't Hug, have a pen at hand to make notes. It's also wise to have a box of tissues close by, as you pause to take in the emotional significance of its message through the tears shed by the narrators and the author. An important virtue will come through loud and clear; expressing love for your spouse and love for your children by taking the important steps to insure that your love will continue on, by protecting and sheltering the lives of those you love from the financial losses that often occur by your own death. This journey takes you through the lives of couples and their families while providing gentle lessons on how life insurance actually works, how much you may want to own and what type you may wish to purchase.

Crash course on life insurance with compassion

There are so many features about life insurance that most people (including financial advisors) don’t understand. This book does such a great job of explaining some of these benefits while also showing how it impacted real families when they had to face a death. Great book! Highly recommend it!

Must Read if you have anyone you love!

I've read many books on investing, insurance, financial planning etc (cause I'm a big nerd like that), and this is by the far the most unique of them all. There are few advisors who've been in business long enough to have the experiences, stories, and insights that Mark shares in this book. I was amazed by the blend of emotions I felt during the stories and how easily Mark explained the technical aspects of the insurance products discussed in this book. I loved the two questions Mark used to end this book and describe who are ideal people for his services. Definitely a must-read for anyone that has someone they love. Mark warns that women may need tissues, chocolate, and wine before reading... I would agree.
