Bill Danko and Rich Van Ness have worked with each other on various projects over the past 30 years. One recurring discussion centers on the lessons we hope to pass down to our children and grandchildren, especially given our roles as educators to thousands of students during our teaching careers.
It is clear to us that many young people are clueless about their direction in life. Yes, they want a career, and yes, they want a good life, but knowing what to do is to many quite a challenge. Some say they want to be rich, but they really don't know what that means. They wonder about what it means to be rich and happy and what it means to achieve true prosperity. In a sense, to paraphrase the Italian Renaissance polymath Leonardo da Vinci, many are like ships on the high seas of life without rudders! They have tremendous potential but no direction. This troubles us.
We hope to inspire and point all people in what we believe is the right direction. This direction has been tempered by over 40 years of academic and consulting research on what it really means to be rich. Our approach relies heavily on tried-and-true social science research methods of personal interviews and large-scale structured surveys. In other words, we have more than our personal opinions to offer.
"Richer than a Millionaire" is an authentic, well researched, and insightful book on creating true wealth and happiness in life. Relevant and packed full of powerful anecdotes, it should serve as a guide for anyone seeking to create a life of freedom, service, and significance."
