Blind Spots of Wealth by Kevin A. DeAllen

The Book

What you don't see
is what costs you everything.

Most wealth isn't lost to bad markets or poor timing. It's lost to the invisible cognitive biases that distort how ultra-privileged families think, decide, and govern themselves — generation after generation.

Blind Spots of Wealth is the essential field guide for ultra-privileged families, family offices, and the advisors who serve them. Drawing on 30 years of behavioral science and private advisory work, Kevin DeAllen names the 20 cognitive biases that silently undermine family fortunes — and shows exactly how to break their hold.
