Ryan discusses the pitfalls of the pursuit of wealth and riches, a pursuit that is often confused with the pursuit of happiness.

"The way in which we use our money and use our possessions makes all the difference in the world! Those who give, receive; sharing with others and living for others is inherently rewarding. There is a huge difference between the rich person who lives for others and the rich person who lives for himself. The former is fulfilled; the latter is empty. The former is truly rich—filled with joy, and peace, and contentment; the other—despite all of his wealth and abundance—is poor and left wanting."
