O sucesso financeiro tem menos a ver com a sua inteligência e muito mais a ver com o seu comportamento. E a forma como alguém se comporta é uma coisa difícil de se ensinar, mesmo para pessoas bastante inteligentes. A maneira como lidamos com o dinheiro — finanças pessoais, investimentos, decisões de negócios — costuma ser explicada como um campo puramente matemático, no qual dados e fórmulas nos dizem o que fazer. A verdade, porém, é que grandes decisões monetárias não são tomadas diante de uma planilha, mas durante jantares com a família e reuniões com os colegas de trabalho.

In Everything Is Negotiable, Meg Myers Morgan deconstructs preconceived notions about adulthood, parenthood, and career paths that have us limiting ourselves. Instead of following that linear plan, for example, she urges listeners to take action now for what we want - limitations be damned. With wit and verve, Morgan also tells us to forget trying to "have it all", as the cliche phrase goes - it'll never happen.
