Reject the default path, define your priorities, and achieve lasting happiness with this transformative guide to your dream life—a life centered around the five types of wealth.

“A powerful call to action to think deeply about what lights you up—and a guide for how to build a life of meaning and purpose.”—Tim Cook, CEO of Apple

Throughout your life, you’ve been slowly indoctrinated to believe that money is the only type of wealth. In reality, your wealthy life may involve money, but in the end, it will be defined by everything else.

After three years of research, personal experimentation, and thousands of interviews across the globe, Sahil Bloom has created a groundbreaking blueprint to build your life around five types of wealth: Time Wealth, Social Wealth, Mental Wealth, Physical Wealth, and Financial Wealth. A life of true fulfillment engages all five types—working dynamically, in concert across the seasons of your journey.

Through powerful storytelling, science-backed practices, and actionable insights, in The 5 Types of Wealth, you’ll learn:

• How to prioritize energy-creating tasks to unlock more time in your day

• How to create deeper bonds and build a powerful network

• How to engage your purpose to spark continuous growth

• How to maximize health and vitality through three simple principles

• How to achieve financial independence and define your version of “enough”

No matter where you are on your path—a recent graduate, new parent, midlife warrior, retiree, or anything in between—The 5 Types of Wealth will help you act on your priorities to create an instant positive impact in your daily life, make better decisions, and design the life you’ve always dreamed of.

I Highly Recommend This Book

I liked that this book focused on all the dimensions of living a really good life. Money is important, but it is not everything. In this book, Sahil explains that true wealth has time, social, mental, physical and financial elements. He even goes as far as teaching you how to sustainable progress on all elements over time. No need to settle for a pyrrhic victory when you recognize the 5 types of wealth!

A true gem- 10/10 recommend

Well structured, great story-telling and easy to implement actionables throughout the book. If you combined the best self help books you’ve read over the past two or three decades, and put it into one life manual with the author’s personal voice/experiences in it, this book is it. Recommending it to all my friends in their 30’s and 40’s as well as to my late teens /early 20’s kids.

Well structured

Easy to follow along, the content is structured well for listening. Leaves you with lots of ideas.

A MUST

I really loved this book. I synced the reading and the audible. And it was amazing. It gives you actual actions you could do to improve your wealth.

This book is a game changer!

Are you stuck on the never ending hamster wheel of more? More money? More promotions? More possessions? But they never lead to happiness? This book redefines what true wealth is so that you can find your happiness and inner peace. Great stories and classic wisdom here. Must read!

Comprehensive wisdom for life

Brilliant author and a great communicator. Whenever he mentioned a reference that I wasn’t familiar with, he also gave a quality quick summary, so I didn’t have to look it up. I learned a lot. He makes great points and backs them up. The only other thing that I noticed was that some sections were very technical, it’s good for beginners so they can understand the processes. If you’re already familiar with that then it’s like re-reading the basics. In order for this book to have a broad impact, I understand. So it’s really not a bad thing. It’s just an FYI. There are some pretty technical step by step explained sections - necessary for many, although slightly less exciting to read. Overall 5/5!!!

excellent

A great general plan with tools for measuring where your at and identifying places to improve.

I skipped the love language section due to low utility or other basic concept sections. The book covers broad areas and starts with introduction to topics.

Great insight

This book gave me a new perspective and leans in which to view my life and actions. It gives simple solutions to adjust your actions to work towards meeting life goals.

Soulful Pragmatism

Definitely worth the read. The Five Types of Wealth is the 80/20 of some of the top self-development ideas of the last two decades. The book has a logical flow sprinkled with stories that are both heartfelt and applicable to the lesson of that chapter.

The book strikes a good balance of being useful for people who may not know where to start as well as for people who are looking to find a more clear path through the various challenges/phases in life. The assessments provide a practical snapshot with the lessons offering options of paths that align more clearly with where you want to go. You can always dive deeper on specific subjects that you find interesting or that you struggle with.

For his first book, Bloom nailed it. Looking forward to the second

the personal development book of the year

It will make you think about your life deeply!

I’ve never read a book more full of practical tools to implement in all areas of life that matter

was a great listen - also great to go through in hardback!
