The Health And Wealth Paradox: How to Use First Principles Thinking to Achieve Both Ankush Datar , Mihir Patki | Book Review
Investing is known as an interdisciplinary practice, but we would say so is health. In fact, the principles of health and wealth are so deeply intertwined that no one can learn from either discipline and apply the lessons across both. This book dives deep into the timeless link between smart investing and healthy eating.
The book improves on complex subjects like smart dieting, wellness schedules, and monetary preparation. The creators draw matches between wellness and money, showing how standards like compounding apply to both. Their recommendations are commonsense, feasible, and grounded in private insight, making them simple to connect with and follow.
This book is a straightforward, simple way to deal with setting your well-being and funds up. It's a very fun read stacked with significant counsel. The writers work hard at building trust by sharing their encounters and how they've carried out the structures given in the book. Additionally, every illustration incorporates drawings in stories and amazing similarities that effectively express the idea.
This book is an assortment of things I wish somebody had let me know when I was in my mid-20s, and I'm happy it exists in book structure today.
I admired reading about the first principles of asset classes:
Equity
Gold
Real Estate
Debt
The author highlights the basics of every successful person, i.e.,
Make a plan.
Stick to the plan.
These two things are hard to maintain but not impossible. Yes, it is important to introspect the reason why you want that thing or want to achieve your goal, and then only you can self-motivate to stick to it. You should not replicate someone else's plan because they saw success.
"Health and wealth are invisible to the naked eye." I learnt about so many inspiring and thought-provoking stories shared by the author. He has marked references to many books that had been bestsellers in non-fiction. He has shared his invaluable research and the correlation between health and wealth in a vivid and evocative style.
I was startled by the fact of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse:
Diabetes and metabolic disease
Heart Disease
Neurodegenerative disorders
Cancer
Each chapter begins with an inspiring quote and ends with motivating takeaways that keep the reader equipped with all the key points that are essential to be penned before understanding the next chapter. The strength of the book lies in its open references from many books and the quotes from their chapters.
What stands apart is the attention to balance—getting a charge out of life while remaining focused on your objectives. They expose normal fantasies and give instruments to construct propensities that last, whether it's unravelling a sustenance name or coming up with a savvy speculation technique.
Overall, this isn't simply one more self-improvement guide; it's a clear aid for anybody who needs to excel at flourishing both truly and monetarily. I imbibed numerous lessons from the book and gained a fresh perspective towards health and wealth. I would recommend this book to all who want to comply with themselves irrespective of their age.

Health is wealth as they say but a good wealth management plan too is important to give you peace of mind and in turn good health. I just hope the book is not very high on technical terms which can make the reading experience tedious.

ReplyDeleteHow Far I understood it is a self help book. See being healthy is not only good but excellent as it is one of the most expensive wealth one can have in life. But you can maintain it well when you have material wealth with you too. So life should be a perfect blend of health and wealth.
ReplyDeleteThis book seems like a real eye-opener. I love how it links health and wealth, something we often miss. It's all about finding balance, and that’s something we all need. I’ll definitely be picking this up.
