More Than You Think. AI-Generated.

But beyond the poetic, could your name – that seemingly arbitrary label assigned at birth – actually wield a tangible influence on the trajectory of your life? While it might sound like something out of a self-help guru's playbook, a growing body of research and countless anecdotal experiences suggest that the answer is a resounding yes.

"The Price of Everything: A Rich Man’s Tale"
Thomas Wexler sat alone in the grand study of his Manhattan penthouse. The silence was thick, broken only by the quiet ticking of an antique gold pocket watch on the polished oak table before him. Neatly stacked bundles of hundred-dollar bills sat beside a half-empty glass of whiskey, a string of pearls, and a few gold coins—symbols of a lifetime devoted to wealth.
