I would much rather inherit values as opposed to money or property. I can always earn more money and do so in a relatively short period of time. It would take me a lot longer to learn the life lessons my parents have learned. Indeed, I recently read a great book about this very topic. I liked it so much I wrote a summary of it. Here is my summary: http://www.lawfiles.net/passing-on-more-than-money-values-and-life-experience-in-estate-planning/

Fantastic! yes we need to look at all 5 pillars of life not just the financial one.I have been to the Harmonic Wealth Weekend, watched the movie and have started the book - it is awesome and shows us how to focus on what we want rather than spending all of our time focus on what we don't want (that is often our reality) - so focus on desire not reality - thanks James!

I’ve always been a little skeptical of the new-agey books my wife reads about self-help or changing your life. But she was so impressed by this one (James Ray’s Harmonic Wealth) that I agreed to read it. AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT IT ROCKED!
What I liked about James Ray was that he didn’t just sell you all these fluffy ideas and leave it at that. James Ray breaks it down into applicable lessons and examples and even provided an online study course that helped me to apply the book to my life and come up with ways I can be more “Harmonically Wealthy” – wealthy in all the “Pillars” or areas of my life. James Ray doesn’t just address the money issues or the relationships – he says that all “5 Pillars” – financial, relational, mental, physical, and spiritual - have to work in harmony for you to achieve a truly wealthy life. I like that approach because it makes sense to me and is about results, not hand-holding.
Here’s the link to his website: harmonicwealth.com/read
