Buried deep in our national psyche is something called The American Dream - the hope that each generation will do better than one before it. You know the longing. You have the dream. It's why you work so hard. But now that you're making money, attaining status and material success, like many people, you may be having second thoughts about what you really need for personal satisfaction. It's not about wanting more money. Not about seeking status and success. Rather, your questions involve narrowing your focus, determining what really defines success for you. In this close-up look at today's significant new realities, Matt Oechsli teaches you how to:

• Determine what beliefs and values are most central in your own life.
