Description

When markets get scary, most people yell: DO SOMETHING!

And most advisors respond with stats, charts, and long-term return arguments.

But that’s not what people actually need.

At least, not first.

This is a behind-the-scenes look at one of my favorite essays in my new book, Your Money: Reimagining Wealth in 101 Simple Sketches.

It’s called “Scary Markets Hugs.” Because before we talk about data and discipline, we need to talk about being human.
