🍂 Autumn Walks, Mushroom Wisdom & Books That Found Me This week, as I wandered through golden forests with kantarell mushrooms sprouting underfoot, I wasn’t just foraging — I was reflecting. 🍄 Books have a way of finding you when you need them most. As Robert Kiyosaki's friend once said, “The book found me.” These four did exactly that. 📚 Books That Found Me This Week: 1. Skin in the Game – Nassim Nicholas Taleb If you don’t bear the risk, you shouldn’t reap the reward. Taleb reminds us that true wisdom comes from those who live their advice. As a property developer, this hit hard — every deal I make, I have skin in the game. No hiding behind theory. 2. The Obesogen Effect – Bruce Blumberg It’s not just calories — it’s chemicals. This book exposed how hidden toxins in plastics, food, and furniture disrupt our hormones and silently sabotage our health. As investors, we must protect our bodies like we protect our portfolios. 3. Smartphone Nation – Kaitlyn Regehr We’re not addicted to phones — we’re addicted to distraction. This one reframed digital consumption like a food pyramid. It taught me to prioritise digital nutrition — creativity, learning, and connection over doomscrolling. 4. The Elephant in the Brain – Kevin Simler & Robin Hanson We lie to ourselves more than we realise. This book peeled back the layers of hidden motives — in charity, politics, even medicine. It’s a wake-up call to be radically honest in business and life. 💸 And a Reminder: The 6 Hidden Lies Banks Tell You “Your savings are growing” (they’re not — inflation eats them) “We offer competitive rates” (0.01% is not competitive) “Fees are minimal” (until they aren’t) “Your money is safe” (but not working for you) “We’re here to help” (they’re here to profit) “You don’t need alternatives” (you absolutely do) Banks profit from your passivity. Real assets — like property — offer security, income, and control. 📣 Let’s Talk Wealth, Wisdom & Wellness DM me to chat about how we help investors diversify with bricks-and-mortar strategies, protect their health, and build antifragile portfolios. #PrescribedLife #PrescribedFailures #BooksThatFoundMe #RobertKiyosaki #SkinInTheGame #ObesogenEffect #SmartphoneNation #ElephantInTheBrain #FinancialFreedom #PropertyInvestor #WealthWisdom #AutumnVibes #MushroomForaging #KantarellSeason #DiversifyYourPortfolio #HiddenLiesBanksTellYou #RealAssetsMatter #PassiveIncome #InvestorMindset
