Video/Podcast/Post Summary
We’re speaking with Sahil Bloom, the author of The 5 Types of Wealth: A Transformative Guide to Design Your Dream Life.
The 5 Types of Wealth, out this week, is a fantastic and well-researched work that helps us discover what matters.
Sahil writes, “Throughout your life, you’ve been slowly indoctrinated to believe that money is the only type of wealth. In reality, your wealthy life may involve money, but in the end, it will be defined by everything else.”
Sahil explains that there are five types of wealth: Time, social, mental, physical, and financial.

Humans evolved to sleep in cooler temperatures—but that’s not always easy to do in warm modern homes with hot modern mattresses. Eight Sleep goes on top of your normal mattress like a fitted sheet and allows you to dial in your mattress’ temperature to whatever is most ideal for your sleep. Data shows Eight Sleep can increase sleep quality and, in turn, your health. It also saves you from having to blast A.C. throughout your entire home at night.

Jaspr
You might recognize Jaspr from our coverage of the easiest ways to avoid microplastics and our Holiday Gear Not Stuff Gift Guide. Their founder and I became friends after I started using Jaspr in my home and covering them on Two Percent. I think using a Jaspr is one of the easiest thing you can do to improve your health—all you have to do is plug it in and remember to breathe. Having a Jaspr in my room improved my sleep, and I love watching the Jaspr in our kitchen kick on and filter our air after my frequent cooking disasters. Get a discount through this link.
