Description

Discover The Spirit of Wealth Preservation—a groundbreaking guide for families navigating the complexities of legacy, purpose, and wealth. Written by Ken Polk, founder of Arlington, this transformative book invites readers to redefine wealth beyond numbers. With decades of experience advising affluent families, Polk masterfully integrates principles of financial stewardship with the human aspects of legacy: character, relationships, and purpose.

At the heart of the book are the “Laws of Preservation,” which provide actionable strategies to ensure wealth becomes a tool for creating thriving families, strong communities, and meaningful lives. Drawing from personal stories and professional insights, Polk offers a rare blend of practical advice and profound wisdom.

Inside this book, you’ll learn how to:

  • Align your wealth with your family’s collective purpose.
  • Create meaningful documents that go beyond legal jargon.
  • Navigate multigenerational wealth transfer with clarity and care.
  • Foster stewardship that prioritizes character and community.
  • Use the "Index of Purpose" framework to measure true wealth.


This book is for anyone grappling with questions of how to align wealth with values, foster multigenerational success, and preserve what truly matters.

Don’t just preserve your wealth—preserve your legacy.

For fans of James E. Hughes Jr., Dave Ramsey, and thought leaders in wealth stewardship.

True to the title, this book is part memoir, part philosophy. Though it appears to begin as a way to build a template of a trust, the underlying document is largely left to the interpretation of the reader and their advisors. The book does meander occasionally, but not excessively, through allegory before jumping back to philosophy.

3 stars because I anticipated a more instructional tone and substance. Also, because there were so many instances where I thought “here it comes…a checklist, finally” only to be returned to spirit, soul, and philosophy.

Read it before you engage an advisor. But don’t if you want to embark on the journey on your own and need a guide.

I really enjoyed the Spirit of Wealth Preservation by Ken Polk. Ken Polk dives deep into what it means to not only to preserve wealth during one's lifetime but to also take care of a person's family for generations to come. His insights into what it takes to help his clients become financially secure is useful no matter what type of financial profession you are a part of. I highly recommend this book, and it is an excellent reminder of how financial advisors can make a lasting impact in client's lives. Excellent read!
