Insights from Meir Statman
Watch our full conversation here: Are You Striving for Financial Security or Seeking Life Well-Being?
"I'm not suggesting that people just be happy with what they have people. I think are striving and should strive (...) The reason I am where I am now is not because I was lying on my back doing nothing, it is because I worked really hard to get my papers, written to get them published in good journals, and so on."
- Meir Statman"Everyone struggles and with at some point; just learn to live with what we have (...) When we are at my age or or a bit younger, but you cannot give up that drive the aspirations when you are young."
- Meir Statman"It is time for you to change your saving habits and spend on what matters to you, whether it is again family or whether it is charity."
