About the Author-- A unique perspective on what's going on beneath the surface

After a 50 year career in investing and lawyering, plus extensive travels in the East and West, Samuel Halpern brings a unique perspective to meaning and motivation in a career and in retirement. Beneath the surface of work that may appear value neutral, he has come to recognize a dozen psychological sources of fulfillment that operate throughout life.  In this book, his experiences-- ranging from  Warren Buffett, Bernie Madoff and Major League Baseball, to Bombay, Bangkok and Beijing-- are springboards for exploring how other people, at all stages of adulthood, and across varied pursuits, can tap into these sources  as well.
