The American Dream
It’s Closer Than You Think
For many generations, the American Dream has inspired not only Americans, but millions of people around the world. It has drawn people from across oceans, motivated pioneers, and encouraged ordinary people to believe that tomorrow can be better than today.
Yet, despite being one of the most enduring ideas in American life, its familiar symbols no longer seem to capture its full meaning. For some, the vaunted trappings of the American Dream seem out of reach. And even for those who have achieved the material successes that epitomize the Dream, there is a nagging sense that something deeper is missing.
This book cuts through the glittering façade of the American Dream and shows how all of us can make it real again.
This book is available to read free on this website. If you prefer a printed paperback for your bookshelf, it is also available on Amazon.
For my wife, my family, and my friends, who inspired me to dream. And for my son, who inspired me to dream differently.
