Thought-provoking and rigorous, with a smart sense of humor and a wealth of cocktail-party trivia at his fingertips, Wilkin reveals that behind almost every great fortune is a "wealth secret"-a moneymaking technique used only by those focused exclusively on huge returns. | Wealth Secrets by Sam Wilkin, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
