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

#1 The most fundamental American question is hard for me to answer these days. If it weren’t, you wouldn’t be holding this book in your hands. I never enjoyed answering this cocktail question because it reflects an epidemic I was part of: job descriptions as self-descriptions.

#2 The New Rich are those who abandon the deferred-life plan and create luxury lifestyles in the present using the currency of the New Rich: time and mobility. This is an art and a science called Lifestyle Design.

#3 The Dealmaker process is a set of steps and strategies that will help you become a member of the New Rich. It replaces self-defeating assumptions and explains concepts such as relative wealth and eustress.

#4 The E for Elimination section provides the first luxury lifestyle design ingredient: time. It explains how I used the words of an Italian economist to turn 12-hour days into two-hour days in 48 hours.
