The wealth in authenticity? I guess some people never learn
It seems like he really didnt think he was wrong, but simply tried to "cash-in" on the attention it received. I dont even care if he's a good writer. His story doesnt seem in the least bit interesting. Instead of being a dumbass and writing a book. maybe he should have got a job that kept his damn family off food stamps.

How much are your principles really worth? What price is too much to pay? In the abstract these seem like easy questions to answer. On a purely philosophical level, there can be only one response. But, when fighting for what you believe is right causes your foundation to crumble, the answer isn t always clear. Adam Smith grew up in an impoverished and deeply religious family.

Finding balance between work and home, Adam settled into a rewarding life with a job he loved and an expanding family that gave it all meaning . . . until he made the choice to stand up for the rights of someone else. His now infamous protest began with the painful renouncement of many of the religious teachings that once formed his world view yet no longer made sense, and ended with the even more devastating surrender of his sense of safety and security. As the journey continues, Adam has found that instead of seeking the ever-moving bar of financial success and approval of others, building the great personal wealth that comes from embracing imperfections and living an authentic life is worth any price .
