A Practice in Joy and Satisfaction

But why place this emphasis on money? Why take this thought path as another way to wealth? And why must we have chapters (Chapters 4 and 5 in particular) outlining the importance of managed emotions and the rising significance of compounding value by managing both money and emotions?

The answer is one that we cannot ignore: money makes this world move forward. After much scandal, even money movers, moneymakers, and money lenders are learning now to do more with less. We are all in the same boat at this point, and we share a common global market, with its turbulence and its gifts, as well as the same physical constraints. This set of recurrent universal needs became especially apparent when I looked at the top 60 megacities of this world as part of the initial research deck for this book.
