Introduction

• Money enables life but doesn’t define it
• Money alone is the wrong measure of success
• Wealth at the expense of time, relationships, purpose, or health is a Pyrrhic victory
• With multiple forms of wealth, happiness comes through the journey
• Focus on direction over speed
• Balance life with a dimmer, not an on/off switch
• Neglect has lasting consequences
• Alternate between growth and maintenance seasons

Time Wealth

• Your time with loved ones is finite — how many moments remain?
• Awareness: recognize time’s limited and impermanent nature
• Attention: focus on what matters most
• Control: consciously choose how you spend your time
• You may not be near the end of life, but near the end of time with someone you love
• Society trades time for money, creating chronic time poverty
• If you don’t control your time, others will control it for you

Social Wealth

• Who will sit in the front row at your funeral?
• Depth: cultivate a few deep, meaningful relationships
• Breadth: build connection through community and shared purpose
• Earned status comes from character, not possessions

• Relationship quality today shapes well-being decades later
• People will remember the time you gave — or didn’t give
• Remembering mortality clarifies what truly matters
