Authentic Wealth is bigger than just financial accumulation – it recognizes the interconnectedness of all aspects of life. It is created when your resources (the 5 levers – Finances, Mindset, Relationships, Health and Time) are aligned with your values, your vision and are ultimately used to achieve the impact you want to have on yourself, your family, your community and the world.
FINANCES
For those of you in Massachusetts, state legislators have agreed on a $1 billion tax relief bill. Of particular interest are two provisions. The first provision increases the threshold for a taxable estate from $1 million to $2 million. This is especially important given that the median listing home price in Greater Boston hit a high of $900,000 over the summer. The second provision is a decrease in short-term capital gains rates from 12% to 8.5%.

RELATIONSHIPS
Communication is such a critical component of quality relationships. And many of us think that we are good at reading people and fully understanding conversations. In the real world, however, research shows we are only getting 20-35% of conversations “right”. This data supports the need to listen deeply, lead with curiosity and ask powerful questions.

HEALTH
It seems like so many people we know are impacted by orthopedic issues, whether that be with their parents, themselves, or their children. Check out this video by Dr. Peter Attia on common injuries, prevention, and treatment.
TIME
The Abaris 5 Lever Book Club just finished Greg McKeown’s book, Essentialism, which suggests that you can regain control over your time and energy when you embrace three core “truths”: “I choose to”, “Only a few things really matter”, and “I can do anything but not everything.”
For more information on Essentialism, check out this video/podcast with Greg on the Tim Ferriss Show here.
