In his four decades as a Harvard University psychiatrist, Dr. Barrie Sanford Greiff heard thousands of his patients, colleagues, and friends express a common yearning: to create meaning in their lives beyond material wealth and to pass something more than simply money on to the next generation. How, they asked, can we repay the world for the sacred gift of life? How can we share our lives and contribute to a better tomorrow? 
 The answer for tomorrow, as Dr. Greiff thoughtfully and clearly explains, is to build a legacy today, "to bequeath not only what we have earned, but what we have learned." In this warm and joyous volume, he tells the heartfelt stories of real legacies--of men, women, and even children who have found remarkable wisdom in the course of everyday life. Be as a stone cast upon the water, that the positive influence of your action may extend far beyond the power of a mere pebble in the hand of a man. -- Ancient Saying

Inspirational and heartwarming, A Life Worth Living provides a insightful guide to living life meaningfully and well. In a time when everyday life is dominated by the pursuit of material wealth, Dr. Barrie Sanford Greiff has redefined "net worth" as a life not dominated by the financial bottom line. Weaving together memorable stories and insights gathered during his long tenure as a Harvard psychiatrist, Greiff highlights in this though-provoking book nine essentials that make true worth: Loving, Learning, Laboring, Laughing, Lamenting, Linking, Living, Leading and Leaving. By heightening our awareness of these essentials in our lives, he reasons, we can find the path to spiritual worth -- and learn that sharing life lessons is the best way to make our lives worthwhile. Both pragmatic and uplifting, A Life Worth Living offers an inspiring remedy for the spiritual myopia of our time.
