The Wealthy Peasant

Society defines wealth as an abundance of valuable possessions or money, and a peasant is a term often used to describe a poor person of low social standing. The status quo dictates that we measure success by material gain, and society passes judgment based on outward appearances. Whether it’s the car we drive, the clothes we wear, the colour of our skin, our spiritual beliefs, or the number of followers we have on social media—we are judged.

The Wealthy Peasant is a real, raw, unapologetic and inspiring reminder to everyone that true wealth is internal. It is a flint that sparks our genius and illuminates our path. It is an attitude that carries us, fuels our persistence, and feeds our tenacity. Wealth is a feeling and a knowing. We can share it and never lose it. It grows with every step we take. Nobody can take it from us.

Author Shauna Madsen invites you to turn the pages of her memoir The Wealthy Peasant and make the journey home back to your own true definition of wealth and joy.

“There are few books that I consider page-turners. From the time I picked up this book, I could not put it down because it is a global story of epic proportions…. I saw myself and humanity in every story and every precious nugget of wisdom”.
