Our American Dream: Cultivating a Life of Success, Joy, and Purpose
Are you looking for motivation to live a life of purpose?
If so, you're not alone. Now more than ever, it's difficult to find the balance between purpose in your work, financial success, and happiness at home. The world wants you to believe fulfillment comes from making money, but the further you go down that road, the more you'll realize the fulfillment you were promised is not there.
As Andrew Samuel learned during his journey from a cow dung floor in India to a successful career in entrepreneurship and banking, fulfillment comes when you focus on serving others, not yourself. In Our American Dream, Andrew explores the values and principles that allowed him to build a rewarding life-and can help you do the same. Sharing moments from his inspiring life story, as well as stories of well-known people who embody the principles he describes, Andrew shows how focus, persistence, and an emphasis on family can be used to build a life-and a business-filled with purpose.

Terrible & boring. Andrew is not a good person & only cares about himself.

excellent motivator
Andrew has always been a kind and community oriented person. It is a pleasure to know him and to have had him as upper management. He is sincere and true to his word. This book was a joy to read and very inspirational.

Inspirational!
“Our American Dream” is a straightforward and honest account of life values in action. Eminently readable, but packed with meaning and inspiration. I will buy more copies of this book to be gifts for my three children, and I will re-read this book often. Highly recommended!
