Editorial Review
We see prosperity as multidimensional. When you are happy, when you have enough money and are at peace with how you are earning that money, this leads to the sustainable state that we describe as prosperity. Balancing these three things—money, happiness, plus sustainability—leads to prosperity. The prosperity that we value depends on creating income consistent with our inner selves, our core selves; without that, no amount of external compensation can fully make us happy.
