ability: liquidating your assests
We keep chasing after stuff. We're somehow convinced that if we could just have more somehow, if we could have what we wanted, if we own something, possess something, that somehow our lives would be happier. One researcher has suggested that every seven seconds you're given the message that your life is valued, it's measured, based on your stuff. What we have, what we own, how we present that to others is a measure of who we are as people. So we get into that trap. A person by the age of 20 has seen over a million commercials, and they're designed to say to you that you're not fulfilled yet, you're not content, your life doesn't have what it needs but you could have it. So we end up chasing that in a way that often gets us into a ton of trouble.

the future of marriage
Here's some of the hard news. The divorce rate in this country is twice what it was in 1960, seven times what it was a century ago. One out of every two marriages ends in divorce. That doesn't mean one out of every two people get a divorce, since some people divorce more than once. Throughout the 1990's, each year saw about 2.4 million marriages in this country and 1.2 million divorces.

the pursuit of wealth
A recent study showed that if the 6 billion people who lived on the planet consumed goods the ways Americans consume goods, it would take 4 planets our size to provide the resources. Are we ever satisfied? Is money the problem? Money isn't the problem; it's symptomatic of a problem. You're the problem.
