On October 1, PEOPLE RICH went out into the world. The paperback and the ebook are both available now. After years of research, writing, and more drafts than I want to admit, I finally get to put this book in your hands.
I wrote it for anyone who has ever hit the goal and still felt a little empty. For anyone with four hundred connections and three real friends. For anyone who has ever wondered why connection seems to come easily to some people and feels like work for everyone else.
You can be money rich and people poor
I studied the economics of happiness. The research kept pointing to the same place. Not the bigger title. Not the bigger number. The people.
The quality of our relationships is tied to our health, our careers, our resilience, and how meaningful life feels when we get where we are going. Money matters. But relationships are the multiplier.
And here is the hopeful part: connection is not luck or charm. It is a skill. Skills can be learned.
What you will find inside
- The mechanics of connection. Being good with people is not something you are born with. It can be learned, step by step.
- Depth over a big network. How to turn a wide-but-shallow contact list into a short list of people who would actually pick up the phone.
- Influence you keep. The kind of trust that follows you, not the kind printed on a business card.
- A practice, not networking. Something you can repeat on an ordinary Tuesday that feels like being a person instead of working a room.
- The research, in plain language. An economist’s read on what the evidence says about relationships and a good life.

A free companion workbook with purchase
Reading about connection is a good start. Practicing it is where life changes. The PEOPLE RICH Workbook is free with purchase of your book, with exercises to help you put each idea to work in your own relationships.
What early readers are saying
“THE BOOK IS BANANAS! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.”
“When I put the book down, I immediately called a friend to connect.”
“I immediately thought of two people I wanted to send it to: my 22-year-old nephew and my sister who owns a multimillion-dollar business. This book will help everyone.”
One small ask
If the book speaks to you, two things help it find the next reader. Leave a short review on Amazon. And think of one person who needs it, then send it their way.
Most of all, I hope it moves you to reach out. Call the friend. Send the note. Invite someone in.
That is what being people rich looks like.
With heart,
Emily
