Do You Know Where Your Happiness Lies? In The Purpose Driven Life, I consider the question What on earth am I here for? This book considers another important question: Where on earth should I be living? Is where you live worth the stress? No one is forcing you to stay where you are. It's your choice. --From the foreword by Dr. Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life Would you be happier if you lived somewhere else? A place where the quality of life is greater than the cost of living? Such places do exist--you just have to look a little harder to find them. The answer probably doesn't lie in the big coastal cities: the cost-of-living gap between those urban areas and the heartland is an immense chasm. And yet the sophistication gap between these regions is steadily shrinking--cable tv, computers, fax machines, cell phones, and broadband Internet access are making it possible to work almost anywhere. Forbes publisher Rich Karlgaard wanted to explore the new appeal of flyover country, and he decided to sky-hop around America in a single-engine Cessna, talking to people--those with a nose for entrepreneurship, a faith in technology, and the willingness to take a chance--who found their bliss in places like Green Bay, Wisconsin; Des Moines, Iowa; and Bozeman, Montana. America offers up scores of these gems--cities and towns with a winning combination of low cost of living and high quality of life--and Karlgaard provides an in-depth look at the country's 150 cheapest (and greatest) places to live. Life 2.0 is the story of those who are living larger lives in smaller places, and a road map for those who want to follow their lead. Where is your happiness? Check out Life 2.0's 150 Cheapest Places to Live section, featuring dozens of cities and towns that offer the good life at a great price. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

He flies his own small plane to discover what is going on. He starts by fining gloom in upstate New York and abundance in Minnesota. He manages to extol the more stolid mid-western character. He tosses little nuggets and stories throughout the book.
At the end of the book Karlgaard gives capsule reviews of 150 cheap cities in which to live divided up into these categories:
.Porch-Swing Communities (best family-friendly cities)
.Happy Hootervvilles (best small towns)
.IQ Campuses (emerging centers of biotech and infotech)
