How to Spend $612 Million

What it is

A book about the daydream I use to fall asleep every night. Whenever the lottery hits about a billion dollars, I buy a ticket. Not because I expect to win, but for the fun of dreaming about it. After taxes, I figured I’d end up with roughly $612 million. Every night, I follow a different trail: where we’d live, how our family’s life would change, who we’d help, and which causes we’d support. It’s coming out February 1 in ebook, paperback, and hardcover.

Why I wrote it

It turned into the fastest, most creative way for me to fall asleep. Three minutes after my head hits the pillow, I’m out with a smile on my face. I wanted to share the idea so others could try it themselves.

What I learned

Putting an abstract idea into words made me a better writer. It was also surprisingly introspective, a chance to think through my own values, goals, and ambitions. It’s been really fun, and I hope readers enjoy thinking it through for themselves.
