"As a Pastor, Dave Koop has been able to observe many elements of human behavior over the years, which has helped him understand the much-overlooked characteristics of success he discusses in his excellent new book. He helps the reader see that true wealth is a state of mind-something reflected in a person's inner and outer contentment. This is a must-read for everyone looking for more peace and joy in their life."
