Publisher's Synopsis
The Standard of Wealth has dramatically changed over the last few decades. The idea of acquiring material objects (a big house, a fancy car, a diversified stock portfolio, etc.), are no longer the standard of measuring wealth. Nowadays, quality of life is becoming the standard of wealth. You can have all the money in the world, but if you are in mental and emotional chaos every moment, it doesn't matter. Quality of life is quality of your time. Quality Time without a quality mind and quality body is near-impossible. Emotional pain comes from misinterpretation of when that quality time happens. Only by acting now can one act upon the past and change the future. Most people believe that they should work themselves to the bone until they retire. This is untrue. How can you live when you spend the last years of your life dying? Our collective consciousness leads us to believe we have to be at a specific place in our lives at a specific age. This is untrue. Now is the time. Your mind hates right now. The mind would rather lament about the past and worry about the future. If you have one foot in the past and one foot in the future, you tend to make a mess of the present. Your mind is a problem-solving organ. When there are no problems to solve, it creates problems for you. The power of the mind has been the main source of suffering since the dawn of civilization.
