The Only Difference

Who Is Advising You, and Why Should You Trust Them?

The most expensive question in your life is the one you have never asked.

Stories from twenty-five years of journalism and advising, studies chosen carefully and checked, and real cases, a few of them very good and rather more of them cautionary. Underneath them sits the ADVICEdge framework: five things to look for in the person advising you, which a client can use to choose and an advisor can use to see where they stand.

The book ends with twenty questions that work on anyone who advises you on anything. They are on this site as the ADVICEdge Test.

Real Conversations In Digital Age

Why the world needs face-to-face conversations more than ever

Written from interviews with three hundred people and a hundred families, it looks at how we stopped talking to each other face to face, and what we lose when screens take the place of the table. One sentence kept coming back in those interviews: if I had sat across a table from the man advising me, I would not have lost what I lost. That sentence led to ADVICEdge.
