For generations, for millions of people, the American dream was simple: more. More money. More stuff. More freedom. More time. More happiness. But "more" isn't better anymore and it isn't what people want out of life. We're rapidly learning in a connected world with a lot of information that "more" isn't enough. According to Penelope Trunk, a powerful new motivator is replacing "more" for a new generation of Americans: the goal of an interesting life. This powerful, revelatory book captures a radical shift that's been taking place just below the surface of American culture: one that is about to explode across the American landscape.

Author Penelope Trunk reveals:

• Why Americans will increasingly choose interest over contentment
• How to make choices when all of the world's knowledge is at your fingertips
• How collaboration and connection are gaining a central place in the new American dream
• How to use the Internet and social media to build your powerfully interesting work life and personal life
