The Triple Package: How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in America by Amy Chua and Jed Rubenfeld
Recommended by Rob Mooney, chief executive officer of Snowden Lane Partners
“As people increasingly question the ‘achievability’ of the American dream, Chua and Rubenfeld put forward a theory about why various cultural groups in the US have and continue to achieve it … and why some have lost their way. A valuable set of considerations for any financial advisor in understanding potential clients and even their own scope of achievement.”
 
Grant by Ron Chernow
