SMARTEST TAKEAWAYS
The 5 Types of Wealth
1ļøā£ Financial Wealth: Money matters, but only as a tool. Build financial security so you have the freedom to pursue what truly fulfills you.
2ļøā£ Social Wealth: Your relationships define your life. Prioritize deep, meaningful connections over surface-level status.
3ļøā£ Physical Wealth: Health is the ultimate asset. Without it, no amount of money can buy happiness or longevity.
4ļøā£ Mental Wealth: A strong, resilient mind allows you to handle challenges, make better decisions, and find joy in the journey.
5ļøā£ Time Wealth: The most finite resource. A rich life isnāt about how much money you haveāitās about how much time you control.

INSIGHTFUL EXAMPLE
The Bank Account Test
Imagine waking up tomorrow with double the money you have now. Would your life instantly feel richer?
Now, imagine waking up with double the time, energy, and deep relationships. Would that change feel even bigger?
Bloom argues that while financial wealth matters, itās only one piece of the puzzle. Without time to enjoy it, health to sustain it, and relationships to share it with, money alone can feel empty. True wealth isnāt just about growing your bank accountāitās about designing a life that feels as good as it looks.
