Money, Purpose, Joy
Too much debt and too little savings are not signs that we have stretched ourselves too far; they’re signs that we’ve settled for too little. They’re indications that we have wandered from “home” in our use of money – home being a metaphor for what matters most.
“Money, Purpose, Joy“ helps quiet the marketing noise of our culture long enough to rediscover who we were made to be and what we were made to be about. The book then teaches a process for using money as an expression of our true identity and purpose. It’s the path toward uncommon financial success and joy.
