    7. Charles Feeney - The Billionaire that went broke...from Donating $8Billion

    I highlight an article written by Steven Bertoni at Forbes. This article was distinguished as one of the best articles of 2020 by Forbes.  Steven Bertoni introduces us to "The James Bond of Philanthropy" Charles Feeney the co-founder and CEO of Duty Free Co. At age 89, he finally accomplished his life long dream, of Giving all of his wealth.  Charles, through his Atlantic Philanthropies Organization, was able to give $8 Billion in charitable donations to a multitude of causes.  Charles also was the "Cornerstone" to Bill Gates and Warren Buffet's "The Giving Pledge" started in 2010.  He left himself and his wife only $2 Million dollars to live on retirement.  This incredible story can be found on Forbes - Here Exclusive: The Billionaire Who Wanted To Die Broke . . .

    5. "Love People, Not Pleasure" - Arthur C. Brooks Opinion Piece

    One of my favorite New York Times opinion pieces I have ever read. Arthur C. Brooks delivers a compelling piece on how to live a more People Loving life rather than a Thing Loving life.  Love People, Use Things.  Give yourself 10 minutes to spare and read this 2014 opinion piece and introduce yourself to Arthur C. Brooks. Allow him to challenge your conditional programing of what you define as Happiness, or better yet, what you define as your pursuit to Happiness.  Opinion Piece: New York Times - Love People, Not Pleasure  Additional Resources: PANAS Schedule Test pdf
