A Life Worth Living: The 9 Essentials

By Barrie Sanford Greiff, M.D.

Inspirational and heartwarming, A Life Worth Living provides a insightful guide to living life meaningfully and well. In a time when everyday life is dominated by the pursuit of material wealth, Dr. Barrie Sanford Greiff has redefined "net worth" as a life not dominated by the financial bottom line. Weaving together memorable stories and insights gathered during his long tenure as a Harvard psychiatrist, Greiff highlights in this though-provoking book nine essentials that make true worth: Loving, Learning, Laboring, Laughing, Lamenting, Linking, Living, Leading and Leaving. By heightening our awareness of these essentials in our lives, he reasons, we can find the path to spiritual worth -- and learn that sharing life lessons is the best way to make our lives worthwhile. Both pragmatic and uplifting, A Life Worth Living offers an inspiring remedy for the spiritual myopia of our time.
