Rethinking Wealth: Insights From Sahil Bloom's 'the 5 Types Of Wealth'

When I picked up The 5 Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom, I couldnt shake the feeling that the timing was deliberate, almost like the universe had nudged me toward it.

I had just finished Mel Robbins The Let Them Theory , which taught me to let go of what I cant control. Blooms book felt like the natural next step, shifting my focus from release to building something meaningful.

At first, I expected this to be just another book about financial success. Instead, Bloom redefined wealth in a way that made me rethink my entire approach to life.

He breaks it down into five typesfinancial, time, physical, mental, and relationalarguing that true wealth isnt just about money its about freedom, purpose, and the quality of our daily experiences.

Blooms chapter on time wealth hit me hard. For years, I treated time as if it were unlimited, saying yes to every social invite, every work request, and every urgent task. I thought being busy meant being productive, but in reality, I was just draining myself.
