Many people know that goals are an important part of living a successful life, yet less than 5% of the population have written goals. This book takes goal setting to the next level, by creating a blueprint of 100 recommended Life Goals. Recognizing that goals need to be much broader than the typical material goals, such as wealth accumulation and materialism, this book represents a balanced approach to goal setting across 10 important life areas, including personal development, health and fitness, friends and family, hobbies and passions, finances, career, adventure, travel, lifestyle, and leaving a legacy. Why not build a life that you can look back at with no regrets, and think, "Wow . . . what a life; I can't believe that I've done all that!" Get inspired, and use this guide book to record your own list of goals, with practical suggestions for Your Target Goals (YTG). This is a must-read book for everyone who has yet to think seriously about planning their life and writing down their goals.

Living Simply, Living Rich offers a unique perspective on the concept of simple living. While most discussions on the topic take the position that simple living requires adherence to the idea that we must “do without” and embrace absolute minimalism, Bob Lee insists that simple living is no more the right path than capitalism or materialism. “Crash diets, whether in nutrition or lifestyles, have no chance of permanent success,” he states. Instead, this book shows how a more focused lifestyle offers fulfillment, a responsible way of living and a more realistic approach to sustained changes in the way we interact with the world around us. Living Simply, Living Rich works, whether you are poor or rich, middle-income or no income. It is an approach to living that remembers that the whole approach is just that: about living. Experiences replace acquisitions, relationships replace career success. This book may be life changing, but it is not a lifestyle manual. It is a pathway to choosing your unique road. Robert Frost was right. Choosing the least travelled path will make all the difference.
