MQ Book Study – “The Happiness Hypothesis”

We are excited to announce that we will be offering a book study for our MQ Community! This will be another opportunity to connect with like minded peers and discuss in depth books that will bring value to our lives both professionally and personally. Our first round consists of one hour sessions held virtually every two weeks. We are happy to have a member of our new Research and Education Task Force, Thom Allison, CFP®, lead the discussion.

Premise

All financial life planners can better help their clients by understanding the two part structure of the brain, the metaphor of the rider and the elephant, the strengths and weaknesses of the rider, the strengths and weaknesses of the elephant, and how to communicate and motivate both the rider and the elephant.
