Default Sanity: the new American Dream

In the late 1990s, I began probing how Americans define the dream. I
discovered in 1999 that about one-third believed the American Dream meant
some form of financial success: the acquisition of goods, a bigger house,
a home with a piece of land around it and so on. I called them the
Traditional Materialists.

But I found an equal-size group that eschewed both that label and that
aspiration. I called this group the Secular Spiritualists, finding they
had decided to reorder their priorities away from things and rejected the
notion that he who dies with the most toys wins.

Instead, for Secular Spiritualists, life was about being genuine, about
achieving a legacy larger than one's self, about leaving this earth a
better place for family, community, and planet.
