Childish wonder is still within you. Forever questioning and experimenting is the sign of a rich mind.

Letting down your defenses and showing your weaknesses allows others to see the full picture, not just a silhouette. Being vulnerable builds trust in relationships.

This study has many strengths including its cluster-randomized design, extensive engagement with community-based organizations, patients, health system leaders, providers and staff, and payers; flexibility to adapt the protocol to respond to real-world implementation challenges; implementation at five different health systems including both FQHC and non-FQHC practices; and the use of existing clinical staff whenever possible to maximize study sustainability. A Rich Life isn’t all about money. At IWT, we see money as a tool for designing, enhancing, and enjoying the life you’re meant to live. Our study protocol was written in 2016, and <140/90 mm Hg was the definition that we chose at the time. Although we are aware of the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association hypertension guideline 70 and we largely agree with the more aggressive goal of <130/80 mm Hg for control in most patients, we decided not to change the study goal for blood pressure control. Our rationale for keeping the study outcome is as follows: 1) we expect uptake of the new guidelines will be slow in the field and 2) we wish to maintain consistency in our data. We anticipate conducting a sub-analysis of study data at the close of the study period to examine what percentage of patients achieve lower targets (i.e. <130/80 mm Hg and <120/80 mm Hg) using the RICHLIFE interventions.

No more vague goals. No more procrastinating. Just beautiful, detailed vision and the confidence to make it real. When you ask people what it would feel like to actually spend more on the things they love, it’s amazing to watch. Most of us have been surrounded by so many people telling us “no” around our money that we’ve never thought about what saying “yes” would feel like. Overcome your natural desire to control the uncontrollable in life, and replace struggle with acceptance and peace. The couple were both architects, so they showed us their home. Then I showed them pictures I’d collected and they explained the Japanese design philosophy behind them. I loved it!I realized my life had been full of riches long before I started chasing financial wealth and material gain. I realized most of the truest riches in my life actually came when I didn’t have all that much money.

In 1 hour, you’ll create a vivid picture of your personal Rich Life so you can start living intentionally, focusing on the things you love, and ignoring the things you don’t.
