“Now whether it is a question of understanding a fellow human being or of self-knowledge, I must in both cases leave all theoretical assumptions behind me. Since scientific knowledge not only enjoys universal esteem but, in the eyes of modern man, counts as the only intellectual and spiritual authority, understanding the individual obliges me to commit the lèse majesté, so to speak, of turning a blind eye to scientific knowledge. This is a sacrifice not lightly made, for the scientific attitude cannot rid itself so easily of its sense of responsibility. And if the psychologist happens to be a doctor who wants not only to classify his patient scientifically but also to understand him as a human being, he is threatened with a conflict of duties between the two diametrically opposed and mutually exclusive attitudes of knowledge on the one hand and understanding on the other. This conflict cannot be solved by an either/or but only by a kind of two-way thinking: doing one thing while not losing sight of the other.”

“To my readers, I hope this book inspires you to align your investing strategies with your core strengths while recognizing the importance of balance and growth. Whether you are a Type Three seeking achievement, a Type Nine striving for peace, or a Type Two driven by helping others, investing can reflect your highest ideals. But as Frankl and Adler remind us, financial success alone does not sate our deepest yearnings. Meaning arises when we transcend self-interest to seek something larger.”

“Matching portfolio strategies to personality types thus became a primary thesis I pursued with equal parts curiosity and passion. I felt it was my calling to marry my expertise in finance, experience with personal investing, insights into clinical psychology, and a lifelong passion for pop culture into an accessible but powerful system to help readers on their road to financial empowerment. At the same time, I wanted to develop a message with an empathetic voice that would honor individuality. That is the origin story of Suit Yourself.”

“Suit Yourself incorporates personality typing into the finance genre. Using principles from said typology, this book guides readers to understand their unconscious tendencies and how mental, emotional, and instinctual leanings can play out in investment decisions.”
