The Right Mountain: Practical Wisdom for Achieving True Wealth

A Wall Street director who spent 40 years at the top of wealth management reveals that "wealth" was always bigger than money--and here's the seven-part framework for claiming all of it.

In 2000, at the peak of his career, Matt Ludmer won his firm's top-producer award in front of three hundred colleagues at a Four Seasons resort in Scottsdale. His team had generated $15 million in revenues. The ballroom erupted. His immediate next thought: "I guess we've got to do it all over again." That hollow moment launched a twenty-five-year experiment in redefining what wealth actually is. The book follows Ludmer's arc of the Aligned Center in Irvington, New York--a physical community built around the four dimensions of True Wealth. Along the way, it teaches readers to meditate, examine their shadow, find their Ikigai, understand the Wheel of Life, invest intelligently using Nobel-Prize winning factor models, and ultimately practice the counterintuitive art of "Ease Up"--letting go of the frantic striving that blocks fulfillment.
