The authors draw on cutting-edge research in behavioral science to show how these principles can be applied by individuals and companies to create happier employees and customers. They also highlight how companies like Google, Pepsi, and Charmin have implemented these ideas successfully.

The book also distinguishes between 'Under Accumulators of Wealth' (UAWs) and 'Prodigious Accumulators of Wealth' (PAWs), emphasizing the differences in their spending and saving habits.
