Die With Zero - Chapter 5
The one you've been waiting for - what about the kids? Bill says give money to your kids when it helps most—not after you die. Time, experiences, and support during their younger years create a bigger impact than a late inheritance. Take them to Porto.PS Happy 100th Birthday Sir David Attenborough.

Finally at the end of the Power of Now. This taught us that we usually chase happiness when actually all we probably want is peace. In contrast, peace doesn't depend on life being perfect - it depends on us not fighting life.

Stillness, silence and space portals and enlightened relationships. Double dutch to me but all became clear.
