This book is a compilation of my research on different approaches to living a rich, balanced life in New York City. People were asked about where they go as part of their routine, the kinds of things they do in order to find balance, and the places they have gone to outside of NYC for the past three years or since they moved here. It was a great exercise of introspection for most participants. I set out on this search partly because I believe everyone can benefit from this kind of dialogue (especially me!) Since this experience is common to all but different for everyone, I hope it speaks to the richness in human experience
