    About this ebook

    Stop comparing and despairing—and discover an easier, happier life: “I encourage you to read this book” (Bob Buford, author of Halftime).
     
    Most of us have heard the expression “keeping up with the Joneses.” They’re supposed to be the perfect, successful American family that everyone wants to measure up to—but no one seems to have actually met them. The authors of this book have, though—and they’d like to introduce them to you. You might be surprised.
     
    Too often, we measure success by our accomplishments or the stuff we’ve accumulated. But life should be about so much more, like discovering who you are, why you are here, and the legacy you create. Think of the possibilities if you started living your life more intentionally, doing more of the things that matter most—and less of everything else. Could life be less hectic? What if you spent more time doing things today that could lead to a better tomorrow, instead of just trying to survive each day? What if you could live more simply, yet more fully?
     
    Who Are the Joneses Anyway? asks relevant questions and, with practical steps and resources, encourages you to be brave enough to seek the answers.
