The Right Mountain: Practical Wisdom for Achieving True Wealth

By Matt Ludmer and Kristin Kaye

At the height of his career, Matt Ludmer stood before hundreds of colleagues to accept the top producer award at the leading Wall Street firm where he served as a director of wealth management. Yet in the quiet moment after the applause, he couldn't shake the feeling of being unfulfilled and misaligned despite all the trappings of success.

Something in him knew: I've got it wrong. This isn't wealth.

That realization became the beginning of a twenty-five-year journey to answer a single question: What does it mean to be truly wealthy?

The Right Mountain challenges the belief that financial success alone leads to a fulfilling life. Drawing on four decades in wealth management and years of study in Integral theory, Tibetan Buddhism, Nobel Prize-winning economic research, and Jewish wisdom, Ludmer offers a practical, integrated path for redefining wealth from the inside out.

Through the Seven Essentials of True Wealth, readers gain the tools to find greater balance, access inner wisdom, deepen connection to community, strengthen their financial foundation, and make the shift from constantly striving for achievement to finally finding fulfillment.

Whether you're building your career, preparing for retirement, or simply questioning the meaning of success, The Right Mountain invites you to redefine how to live a rich life.
