Rich Routines: Simple Habits That Enrich Every Area of Your Life

“You have to choose.”

This is what most success experts, personal development authors, and even religious leaders say. You must be one thing, or you must be another. You can’t have it all.

In Rich Routines, entrepreneur Steve Houghton rejects either-or success and embraces both-and. He argues that in a capitalist system, you get rich by enriching others—sometimes in the most literal sense. You get paid well by doing good. All dichotomies to the contrary are false.

Likewise, Rich Routines explains that you do not have to choose between a life of hedonistic pleasure or a bland and stale marriage. You don’t have to choose between a great family and a successful business. You don’t have to choose between faith-based values and monetary success. Nor do you have to skip your children’s lives so you can climb the corporate ladder.

You can have it all—in the right order. Rich Routines shows how to build towards financial wealth by starting with all areas of life that money serves: spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional. Build and follow simple habits in all these areas of life, and the rewards will be lasting.
