The first two of three parts of this book offer a superb look at the psychological fears and weaknesses of people who gained sudden wealth through a company sale, a lottery win or inheritance. Reading this made me feel good that I have enough money for a comfortable if frugal life and not enough to experience all the existential and practical problems the super-rich face. But Part 3 of the book turned moralistic and political and did not interest me in the slightest.
