The New American Prosperity by Darby Checketts
Smart and Happy Ways to Deal Effectively with Road Bumps and Set Backs.
Whether your American dream is described with the words: Freedom, happiness, money, possessions, or public recognition Darby Checketts invites the reader to exchange false ambition, to re-define success, and to restore a confidence and determination to move forward.
"The New American Prosperity" is a call for all American's, from entrepreneurs, community planners, government leaders, and the millions of other industrious individuals to join forces to positively alter the political, economic, social, and environment "landscape" of our world.
Darby maintains that emotions of "hurt," "sour," and "bitter" block happiness, that anger and calm cannot co-exist, and that we can deal with the deep rooted results of anger with faith, will power, and love.
He encourages the reader to find purpose and meaning in life.
I found myself identifying with the truths and observations of many of the essays especially the one titled "The Age of the Drawers: Simplify Everything.
" This is something I plan to act on immediately.
The reality of Darby's faith comes through in his writing.
He writes practical, powerful, and positive essays and poignant stories that demonstrate true and successful living.
The subtitle of this book is: "Refining Success as Smart and Happy versus Rich and Famous.
" This is exactly what Darby does as he shows from personal example ways to deal with set backs and road bumps in times of personal and economic crisis.
He offers timely, down to earth sage advice to help the reader effectively get back on track.
"The New American Prosperity" is a refreshing reminder that (in Darby's words): "Prosperity is about 'feeling blessed'-blessed with good health, which you faithfully protect; blessed with sufficient financial resources to meet your most important needs; and blessed to have others in your life who lovingly join with you in the commitment to be just plain Smart and Happy.
