Episode notes

When people think about it carefully, especially sophisticated, intelligent people who've had a lot of success in their life, the hardest question you can ask them is what are you going to do with that billion dollars? They don't have an answer to that. The only thing that brings satisfaction to people whoare really realy wealthy, generally, is earning it,. You know, seeing the success itself. And that's a real dress.

Arthur C. Brooks used to run a prominent think tank where he was paid handsomely to influence public policy. Did all that success make him happy? Nope. So Arthur quit his job and set out to transform his life. Now he has written a book about what he learned along the way, the #1 New York Times bestseller “From Strength to Strength: Finding Success, Happiness, and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life.”
