Here's an example: The author asks if we are rich because we have large amounts of money or if we even know how much money it will take to be considered "rich" in our lives. The author makes a point to state that we are actually poor, not because of a lack of possessions, but because of our inability to appreciate what we have and count our blessings. Our country is prosperous compared to many other countries in the world. Our perception of poor really relates to how little we connect to others and help others in need. The author encourages us to appreciate the riches available in the universe, and also in our local towns. Our richness will come when we take time to grow personally and understand that money will not satisfy our spiritual or emotional needs. Kelly,

It is indeed learning to appreciate to joy in the everyday that can make out lives more worthwhile. Would have like to have more of a sense of what some of the exercises presented in the book are, nothing too detailed -- just a short overview would help me to decide if it was something I would more than likely agree to do or if the book came off as too preachy as that is not my style.
