The Lobster League

The Lobster League is a moving tale about money, memory, and human behavior—over bowls of lobster bisque. Inspired by his real-life work advising high-net-worth families, financial advisor Scott MacKenzie invites an eclectic group of clients to a private weekly lunch series called the Lobster League to unpack finance concepts through intimate, character-driven stories. Against the backdrop of Gloucester, Massachusetts, these close-knit seaside gatherings give rise to sometimes-painful confessions, hard-earned lessons, and life-altering realizations about the hidden emotional traps that wealth can bring.

Part narrative, part practical guide, The Lobster League offers clear-eyed insight on how to build a wiser, more rational relationship with money. Warm, witty, and psychologically savvy, MacKenzie highlights real psychological traps alongside actionable perspective on recognizing and resisting them. MacKenzie reframes money talk to invite readers to view their finances with honesty.

A masterclass in both storytelling and realistic, applicable advice, this book is for anyone who wants to understand why we make the financial decisions we do—and how to change our thinking to build a life of true wealth.
