Die With Zero: The Radical Idea That Will Change How You Think About Money 💰

Bill Perkins has a question that most financial advisors would hate: Why are you working so hard to die rich?Seriously. What's the point of accumulating all that wealth if you're too old, too tired, or too dead to enjoy it?"Die With Zero" isn't your typical personal finance book. It's not going to tell you to max out your 401(k), skip the lattes, or retire at 65 with a fat nest egg.

It’s science stripped of pretension — curious, humble, and playful. And that combination turns out to be surprisingly rare.

Reflections on A Promised Land — Lessons in Leadership, Doubt, and Purpose

Some books don’t just tell a story; they slow you down and make you think about how you move through the world. A Promised Land is one of those. It’s not just a political memoir — it’s a window into the inner life of a leader navigating impossible expectations, the grind of compromise, and the quiet persistence needed to keep going when the ideal collides with reality.
