Publisher Comments:

In his bestseller Affluenza, David Wann and his co-authors diagnosed the debilitating disease of over-consumption.  In Simple Prosperity he shows readers how we can overcome this disease by investing in a variety of real wealth sources. To recapture a more abundant and sustainable lifestyle, try:

- Creating a richer life story through personal growth incentives

- Forming higher-yield friendships and stronger bonds through social capital

- Taking preventive healthcare measures to build up wellness reserves

- Balancing the biological budget through “greener” currency

- Caring for people, not just cars, to improve your neighborhood wealth index

- Resolving that pesky carbon conundrum through energy savings

- Celebrating instead of desecrating! Cultural prosperity futures value the earth as a sacred place

In our age of hedge fund hysteria, Simple Prosperity is a new way of investing that will save our sanity and the planet.
