Comedian Paul Ollinger wants you to be happy, but let's not go crazy here, okay? In his new show, Reasonably Happy: the Skeptic's Guide to Achievable Contentment (FKA Crazy Money), Paul will help you find authentic fulfillment.
This week we tried out a new format—a panel discussion about the 1987 classic Oliver Stone film, Wall Street. It starred Charlie Sheen, Michael Douglas, Darryl Hannah and a whole bunch of other amazing actors. The movie, which was a morality tale about financial excess, both celebrated and condemned the era's obsession with money and over-the-top luxury (clearly that’s over!). In addition to cocaine, caviar, and steak tartare, it asked us to consider:
How much is enough?
How do you define success?
Is greed, for lack of a better word, good?
My friend A.M. Bhatt and I moderated this discussion on the Clubhouse app including previous Crazy Moneyguests:
Turney Duff, author of The Buy Side
Lisa Birnbach, author of The Official Preppy Handbook
Brad Klontz, financial psychologist and author of Money Mammoth and other books
