What Makes Us Rich: And What Doesn’t

By Roman Burlaka

Money? Health? Freedom? Time? Family? Competence? Or perhaps the ability to make good decisions-and learn from bad ones?

What Makes Us Rich - and What Doesn't is not a conventional guide to getting rich, becoming successful, or achieving financial freedom quickly. This book promises no ten steps to becoming a millionaire and no method that supposedly works for everyone.

Instead, it is about experiences, decisions, and mistakes-about things that, in real life, often cost more than money.

Roman Burlaka combines personal experiences with reflections on work, income, professional development, education, chance, preparation, risk, crises, reputation, and the question of what price we actually pay for success.

Along the way, he also examines popular assumptions: Does work have to be fun? Does what doesn't kill us really make us stronger? Is success always the result of hard work? And is more really always better?

A personal, partly ironic, and deliberately uncomfortable book about good decisions, costly lessons-and about what truly matters in the end.
