How Much Is Enough by Arun Abey and Andrew Ford:

July 12, 2010 by Ansgar Gerstner

How Much Is Enough is a really interesting book on investment, on becoming a better investor.

The reason why I find this book so interesting is that it sees and explores links between investment strategies and personal attitudes towards happiness and well-being.

You could call How Much Is Enough a handbook on sustainable investment.

Arun Abey & Andrew Ford. How Much Is Enough? – Money – Time – Happiness: A Practical Guide to Make the Right Choices. A&B Publishers, 2007.

Marketing and The Tao of Business:

March 12, 2010 by Ansgar Gerstner

I have not written or posted much in regard to marketing so far. Someone I, for whatever reasons, actually only observed very recently, but whose approach to marketing is very much in line with the strategies I describe in The Tao of Business is Seth Godin. For inspiring thoughts and further information keep an eye on his blog, Seth’s blog.
