The last couple of weeks were, to say the least, pretty wild. Highlights include, but are not limited to:
过去几周，至少可以说是相当疯狂。亮点包括但不限于：
Appearing on
Scott Galloway’s podcast
, not just once, but
twice
(and facing accusations of being a nepo baby from the comment section).
出现在
斯科特·加洛韦的播客
中，而且不止一次，而是
两次
（还面临评论区关于“裙带宝贝”的指责）。
Chopping it up in the Bloomberg HQ with
Barry Ritholtz
.
在彭博总部与
巴里·里霍尔茨
畅聊。
Renting the NASDAQ
for a day.
租下纳斯达克
一天。
Seeing my physical book in the Barnes & Noble by my apartment.
在我公寓附近的巴诺书店看到我的实体书。
Receiving dozens, if not hundreds, of emails from total strangers who loved the book.
收到数十封乃至数百封来自喜欢这本书的陌生人的邮件。
Writing a book is hard. Seeing it in the world is cool. I will, over the next few weeks, share more details on both the book writing and book marketing process, as it’s a unique experience that’s tough to understand until you’ve gone through it yourself.
写书很难。看到它问世很酷。接下来几周，我会分享更多关于写书和营销过程的细节，因为这是一种独特的体验，除非你亲身经历过，否则很难理解。
But for now, I want to focus on one particularly funny concern I had while going through the book promotion process: I wasn’t entirely sure how to “describe” my book when telling people what, exactly, it was.
但现在，我想聚焦于在图书推广过程中遇到的一个特别有趣的担忧：当别人问我这本书到底是什么时，我不太确定该如何“描述”它。
Calling
Young Money
a “memoir” felt weird, as “memoirs” seem to be written by silver-haired business magnates reflecting on their professional endeavors or immigrants who survived their treacherous journeys across raging seas in homemade rafts to reach a better life.
把
《Young Money》
称为“回忆录”感觉很奇怪，因为“回忆录”似乎是那些白发苍苍的商业巨头回顾自己的职业生涯，或是那些乘自制木筏穿越汹涌大海、历经艰险到达更好生活的移民才会写的。
So my elevator pitch usually settled into some version of,
“Life advice for 20-somethings,”
which, I guess, is directionally correct, but it also just comes off as dry. And, as I hilariously realized later, this description alienates anyone older than a 20-something. I received at least 15 emails last week from folks saying some version of,
“I was really looking forward to reading your book, but I figured that I’m too old to learn anything from it since I’m 33.”
所以我的电梯演讲通常变成某种版本，
“给二十多岁年轻人的生活建议，”
我觉得这方向没错，但听起来也很干巴巴。而且，我后来好笑地意识到，这种描述会让任何超过二十多岁的人感到被排斥。上周我收到至少15封邮件，人们大致这样说：
“我真的很期待读你的书，但我觉得自己太老了，学不到什么，因为我已经33岁了。”
After replying to the 15th email saying that this book was written
about
my 20s, but it does not at all exclude all of the non-20-somethings from reading, enjoying, and resonating with it, I realized I probably need to clarify what, exactly,
Young Money
is for those who haven’t read.
在回复第15封邮件时，我说这本书写的是
关于
我的二十多岁，但完全不排除所有非二十多岁的人阅读、享受并产生共鸣。我意识到，我可能需要澄清一下
《Young Money》
对于那些还没读过的人来说到底是什么。
Young Money
:
A Field Guide to Wealth and Purpose in Your Twenties
is a memoir about my conflicting desires for achievement and adventure in the brief window of post-college adulthood, and my reflections on that period as I approach 30.
《Young Money》
：
二十多岁时的财富与目标指南
是一本回忆录，讲述了我在毕业后短暂的成年期中，对成就与冒险的矛盾渴望，以及我在接近30岁时对那段时期的反思。
Young Money
is not, as I have sometimes called it,
“life advice for 20-somethings,”
though many folks have since deemed it
“essential reading for 20-somethings.”
《Young Money》
并不是我有时所称的
“给二十多岁年轻人的生活建议”，
尽管很多人后来认为它是
“二十多岁年轻人的必读书目”。
Young Money
is the story of my struggle to strike a balance between the pursuit of “fun” and the pursuit of “success,” and my reflections on that period of life.
《Young Money》
讲述了我如何在追求“乐趣”与追求“成功”之间努力取得平衡的故事，以及我对那段人生的反思。

“Advice” tends to be pointed, narrow, and in the year of our lord 2026, outsourceable to an LLM.
“建议”往往是尖锐、狭隘的，而且在公元2026年，还可以外包给大语言模型（LLM）。
Stories, however, are invaluable, because they’re relatable. A good story makes the reader feel seen and understood because it reveals a piece of their own nature through the experiences of someone else.
然而，故事是无价的，因为它们能引起共鸣。一个好故事能让读者感到被看见、被理解，因为它通过别人的经历揭示了读者自身的一部分本性。
Young Money
is a story of a young man trying his best to make the most of his twenties before they were gone, a tale as old as time.
《Young Money》
是一个年轻人在二十多岁逝去之前尽力充分利用这段时光的故事，一个古老得如同时间本身的故事。
And judging from early readers’ messages, that story had wide appeal.
从早期读者的留言来看，这个故事具有广泛的吸引力。
Young Money
sold thousands of copies in its first week, and I’ve received 100+ messages from readers who finished the book. From those 100+ messages, two groups of folks seem to
really
like the book:
《Young Money》
上市第一周就卖出了数千本，我收到了100多条来自读完这本书的读者的消息。从这100多条消息来看，有两类人似乎
真的
很喜欢这本书：
“I’m somewhere between ~18 and 30, and this encapsulated exactly how I’ve felt but I didn’t know how to put into words. Thanks for sharing your story.”
“我大概在18到30岁之间，这本书恰好概括了我一直以来的感受，但我不知道该如何用语言表达。谢谢你分享你的故事。”
“I’m in my 40s - 60s, so I didn’t think I was the target audience, but your story took me back to my youth. Thank you for writing it. I’m buying copies for my kids and my friends kids.”
“我四五十岁到六十多岁，所以原本不觉得自己是目标读者，但你的故事让我回到了青春时代。谢谢你写这本书。我要买几本给我的孩子和朋友的孩子。”

Why share all of this? Well, first, I’m happy that
Young Money
has some real traction, and it’s fun to share reviews from the crowd. But more importantly, I wanted to highlight that, while the book might be marketed toward 20-somethings, it’s certainly not
only for
20-somethings.
为什么要分享这些？首先，我很高兴
《Young Money》
确实有了一些势头，分享大家的评价也很有趣。但更重要的是，我想强调，虽然这本书可能面向二十多岁的人营销，但它绝对不只是
仅供
二十多岁的人阅读。
Young Money
isn’t self-help. It’s a story that some folks might find immediately relatable, but a lot of folks, across all ages, have found valuable.
《Young Money》
不是自助书。它是一个故事，有些人可能会立刻产生共鸣，但很多不同年龄段的人都觉得它很有价值。
A couple of other things:
还有几件事：
A lot of college students and recent graduates have reached out saying they want to buy copies for their friends as gifts, and I’m now speaking to ~75 students at NYU next month, with events lined up at Columbia Business School and Harvard Business School as well. Given that college students are now going back to school, I want to get
Young Money
in as many of their hands as possible.
很多大学生和应届毕业生联系我，说想买几本送给朋友当礼物。我下个月将在纽约大学对大约75名学生演讲，哥伦比亚商学院和哈佛商学院的活动也在安排中。考虑到大学生们现在正返校，我想让
《Young Money》
尽可能多地送到他们手中。
If you’re a college student or employee in a leadership role in Greek Life, athletics, student government, investment clubs, or other organizations on campus, and you’re interested in placing a bulk order of books and/or also want me to speak to your organization, shoot me an email.
如果你是在校大学生，或在兄弟会/姐妹会、体育、学生会、投资俱乐部或校园其他组织中担任领导职务的成员，并且有意批量订购本书和/或希望我给你的组织演讲，请给我发邮件。
Similarly, if your company employees lots of recent graduates, and you think
Young Money
would be a valuable read for your employees just entering the work force or considering their “next” job, shoot me a note, because I’d love to send you some copies.
同样，如果你的公司雇佣了很多应届毕业生，而且你认为
《Young Money》
对刚进入职场或正在考虑“下一份”工作的员工来说是一本有价值的读物，请给我留言，因为我很乐意送你几本。
And if you’re my age or older, and you already
survived
that internal conflict in your youth, I think you’ll enjoy my story, and it’s worth checking out as well. Memoirs are so much more fun than “advice.”
如果你和我同龄或比我年长，并且已经
挺过
了年轻时的内心冲突，我想你会喜欢我的故事，也值得一读。回忆录比“建议”有趣多了。
As always, thanks for reading and have a great week.
一如既往，感谢阅读，祝你一周愉快。
