The Ploughman and the Astronaut
The Evolutionary Journey to WealthNess
by
Don Nilson
The Ploughman and the Astronaut is not your average financial planning book. This is a finance self-help book for the intellectually curious. It is for people who not only want to learn what to do with their money, but who also want to understand what money means to them, their children, and their community. In exploring this, author Don Nilson takes his readers on a journey to improve their and their family’s lives financially, emotionally, spiritually, and even physically, as the stress of out-of control personal finances becomes a thing of the past. The Ploughman and the Astronaut is a surprising yet successful mix of self-help, philosophy, story-telling, and information on how to manage personal finances. The author has created a unique approach by assimilating concepts from other fields of thought (including genomics, psychology, ecology, and thermodynamics) to the world of personal finance, and by targeting topics to your level of interest and expertise. No matter what your current level of knowledge and experience is with personal finance, reading this book will help you evaluate and reshape how you view, use, and invest money. Most importantly, it will set you and your future generations on the path to WealthNess: A state of abundance of health and material possessions to achieve a life well lived.
Don Nilson has five decades of experience with providing integrated financial services and leading his clients to WealthNess. He is a Chartered Professional Accountant, a Certified Financial Planner and a Trust and Estate Practitioner.
