MBA2686 Must Read: The 5 Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom

On today's must read episode, we're diving deep into a book that really reshaped the way I define success or being rich. That book is the Five Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom. Now I gotta tell you that when I first started reading this book, I didn't love it. I actually was going to stop reading it, but I said, let me give it a chance. Let me keep reading it.

And he starts by talking about time wealth, talking about social wealth, talking about mental wealth, physical wealth. And in my head, as Sal's going through these types of wealth, I'm saying, well, a lot of this stuff is not, you know, applicable if you don't have money. Right? A lot of this stuff is not available to you. You don't have free time if you are working two jobs just to cover rent and cover your expenses. You don't can't afford getting good mental health or take a holiday or get a trainer or get healthy food if you want physical wealth. And that was constantly echoing in my head.
