Carl Barney has made a lot of money in his career. Now he wants to do something good with his money. He has included twenty people in his will but instead of waiting, he has decided to give them the money while he is still around so he can see them enjoy it. The only thing he asks of each person is to develop a happiness plan on how they are going to spend the money. He supplies them with a happiness coach and an investment advisor.
The book is written as a memoir, but he repeats himself going through the steps with each recipient. I like the concept of giving money to people while they are young and able to enjoy it. The way it was presented seemed as if the author wanted to be recognized for the act of giving. I do like the layout of the happiness planning workbook.
