I'm finding this new book by Dr. Jordan Grumet to be the most important ER-related reading I've done in years, and from the reviews of it on Amazon and other sites I'm not alone.
Grumet is both a proponent and thoughtful critic of the ER movement. Given that he's a hospice doctor his insights into the relationship of money and time - and the things we do to "save" and "spend" both - are especially profound, as is his grasp of the way underlying fear of mortality often drives unwise life decisions - including the focus on money and unrealistic ideas of what constitutes "enough."
He was just interviewed by the good folks at Morningstar and reading the transcript of the podcast, or listening to it, is a good way to see if you'd enjoy reading the book:
