In my work as an investment advisor to families, I get to know not only the stock holdings in the portfolio, but also the people whose money we manage. The topic of wealth, and wealth psychology is of great interest to me, and my partners. In this episode, Dr. Paul shares unique, and intimate insights.
Dr. Paul Hokemeyer (Dr. Paul) was born in Baltimore, Maryland and raised with his older brother in the gently rolling hills of Harford County, Maryland. From an early age, Dr. Paul was confused by the world in which he was born. Struggling to find his place in it, he embarked on transformative journey that took him to Alajuela, Costa Rica where he studied Spanish as an exchange student, to college in Cleveland, Ohio, law school in Columbus, Ohio and to Washington, DC and Amsterdam where he worked in the realm of environmental and social justice.
Eventually, he found his place as a psychotherapist helping other human beings repair and make meaning out of their lives. In his debut title, Fragile Power: Why Having It All Is Never Enough, Dr. Paul, who's become the world's foremost authority on issues related to our celebrity and power obsessed culture, reveals the fragility inherent in the status we desperately crave and provides a roadmap to avoid self and relational destruction though misplaced aspirations.
