Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The underlying principle of this book is that it’s possible to move toward balance, prosperity, happiness, and basic sanity in our lives as human beings. The core of the operating system that will get us there is recognizing how our minds work and how the world works.

#2 We all have a vision for our life. It may be modest, like just getting by and having a little comfort, but it could expand to include becoming a great artist, musician, architect, meditation teacher, parent, benefactor, or healer.

#3 When we explore the making-a-buck part of our lives, the notion of joining heaven and earth can be a very useful construct and an extremely practical approach. As we descend from our lofty view of Mount Fuji, our vast sense of possibilities and opportunities, let's see if we can apply this notion of heaven and earth to our own livelihood and career.

#4 What skills do you need to create the career you’re visualizing. Do you live in the right place to do the job you really want. Write down any other considerations.
