Review "There are relatively few ideas which forever changed how I saw the world. Optionality is one of them. Meadows' work is an essential read on what it is and how to apply it to your life." Taylor Pearson, bestselling author of The End of Jobs and Mutiny Fund co-founder "One of the most valuable books in today's world...Funny and easy to read and digest while you're learning life-changing principles and ideas." Esther Jeong, serial entrepreneur and business coach "Richard Meadows is a goddamn genius. Buy this book." Conor White-Sullivan, co-founder and CEO of Roam Research "As a financial planner, the most important part of my discussions with clients comes down to defining what 'wealth' means to them. It's only when you nest your financial decisions in these bigger picture matters that you can make decisions that are appropriate for you. In Optionality, Rich provides a rich lens (pun intended) for thinking about your financial affairs, and the big, important decisions in your life."
