Alexander Green Quick Facts
- Main Areas
- At the height of the stock market boom in the late 1990s, Alexander Green walked away from a prestigious position with one of the country's leading money-management firms - retiring from Wall Street after 16 years at the ripe old age of 43. That's when he became Investment Director for Investment U's premium stock advisory service, The Oxford Club - a private financial organization dedicated to building and preserving the wealth of its members. And his decision paid off…

Alex has just launched Spiritual Wealth (www.spiritualwealth.com)!
We sometimes forget that there are two types of riches in this world: material wealth and spiritual wealth. Anything that can be measured in dollars and cents, I call material wealth. Everything else – the love of our families, the health we enjoy, the time we spend doing things we enjoy or working on things that really matter – I call spiritual wealth.
Over the last seven years, almost everything I’ve written has been devoted to increasing readers’ material wealth. But that has changed…
The first is that all of us grapple - or should – with the big questions in our lives. What matters most? How do we balance our priorities? How do we move beyond success to significance?
Of course, I’ll always believe that financial independence is one of life’s most important goals. It’s what gives you the freedom to do what you want, where you want, with whom you want. Money allows you to provide for your family, help other people, pursue your intellectual and artistic interests, and become an inspiration to members of your community.
I don’t believe anyone can be truly happy as long as he is a slave to his job, his circumstances, or his monthly overhead. But life is not about just accumulating and spending more. There are plenty of things that are more important - and those are exactly the subjects we discuss here each week.
The other reaso I’d like you to sign up for Spiritual Wealth – aside from the fact that I think you’ll profit from it – is because I need your input…
Like me, I’m sure you’ve learned many of life’s most important lessons the hard way. So whenever I write about a topic you know something about, please don’t be reluctant to hit the reply button.
Feel free to contribute your thoughts, your ideas, and your “two cents worth” whenever you’d like. We can all benefit from your experiences, but perhaps you most of all. As the old Chinese proverb says, “Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.”
Sincerely,
Alexander Green

*** Why I Hope Steve Jobs Is Wrong

The Wolf In Monk's Robesnby Alexander Greenn This week more than 100 deaths were reported in Tibet, as the Chinese government cracked down on demonstrators in Lhasa demanding greater autonomy. In many ways, this is nothing new. In 1950, Chairman Mao Zedong ordered the "liberation" of Tibet. ...

No One Is Blinder Than He Who Will Not Seenby Alexander Gree Last April in Washington D.C., a young man in blue jeans and a T-shirt emerged from the metro and positioned himself against a wall beside a trash basket. He removed a violin from a small case, threw in a few dollars and pocket ...

Gentlemen, Stop Your Engines Dear Reader, While in France a couple years ago, I bumped into my colleague Addison Wiggin, an American publisher (and now filmmaker) who was living in Paris at the time. During our chat, he told me about a French co-worker who had just returned from her first ...

*** Can a Mozart Violin Sonata
Dear Reader, We don't usually think about it, but there is something much "deeper" about hearing than seeing, something that provokes a more powerful emotional response. In the era of silent movies, for example, a pianist was required to bring out the emotional significance of a love ...

*** Enjoy Every Sandwich
Dear Reader, My friend Steve Sjuggerud, editor of True Wealth, used to call me occasionally to ask if I'd read any good business or investment books. Since both of us already had shelves groaning with them, it got tougher each year to find new ones offering any fresh insights. That was before ...

Dear Reader, Not long ago, I was playing golf with a friend who is an atto ey. Between shots he began telling me how much he detested his job. "Why?" I asked. "You have to understand my business," he said with a huff. "My day basically consists of writing nasty letters on behalf of my ...

*** The Earth as the Creator Intended It
Dear Reader, Is it possible for a place to be spiritual? Not a church, a shrine or a tabe acle, but just an area of incredible natural beauty? I set out to answer that question last Friday when I drove south on Scenic Highway One from Monterey with my colleague Steven King. We were on our way ...

*** The Courage of Randy Pausch
Courage means different things to different people. Hemingway called it "grace under pressure." The writer Anais Nin said that, "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." Winston Churchill called it the greatest virtue "and the guarantor of all the others." There are different ...

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Alexander Green
- Our contention is that true wealth doesn’t come from making money, but from fulfilling a purpose outside ourselves, whether that’s exercising our talents, raising our kids to be happy, productive adults, or contributing to our communities in some meaningful way.
