A fundamental understanding of the higher purpose and spiritual significance of money in human existence is at the heart of this remarkable book. Failure to understand these principles can be detrimental to oneself, to loved ones, and to the intended benefactors of philanthropic efforts. The distinction between essential and nonessential wealth is central to this discussion, and both the wealthy and the reader who aspires to be so are provided with standards to evaluate their own financial situations. A persuasive argument in favor of early and generous philanthropy is proposed, no matter the size of one's fortune. Insights from Aristotle, Cicero, St. Thomas Aquinas, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Andrew Carnegie, and others illuminate the purpose of wealth and the benefits of philanthropy to the giver, the receiver and the larger society.

This unique work turns to the wisdom of the ages to illuminate what it means to have money, and the role it's meant to play in people's lives and in the lives of others. American entrepreneur and philanthropist Hanna introduces a no-nonsense explanation for how to deal with money constructively.
