REPOST: What is Quality?

In the whirlwind of life lately—parenting, graduate school, startup building, and book launch—I haven't had time to write a fresh October piece. But perhaps that is a good excuse to revisit two earlier posts I remain proud of.

Benjamin Tan shared a quote
Suit Yourself by Benjamin Tan
“Matching portfolio strategies to personality types thus became a primary thesis I pursued with equal parts curiosity and passion. I felt it was my calling to marry my expertise in finance, experience with personal investing, insights into clinical psychology, and a lifelong
passion for pop culture into an accessible but powerful system to help readers on their road to financial empowerment. At the same time,
I wanted to develop a message with an empathetic voice that would honor individuality. That is the origin story of Suit Yourself.”

Suit Yourself by Benjamin Tan
“Suit Yourself incorporates personality typing into the finance genre. Using principles from said typology, this book guides readers to
understand their unconscious tendencies and how mental, emotional, and instinctual leanings can play out in investment decisions.”

Benjamin Tan, Suit Yourself: A Portfolio Strategy for Every Personality Type

“To my readers, I hope this book inspires you to align your investing strategies with your core strengths while recognizing the
importance of balance and growth. Whether you are a Type Three seeking achievement, a Type Nine striving for peace, or a Type Two driven by helping others, investing can reflect your highest ideals. But as Frankl and Adler remind us, financial success alone does not sate our deepest yearnings. Meaning arises when we transcend self-interest to seek something larger.”
