Your Money or Your Life

File Under: Cavuto Talk

OK, I have a bit more information on Neil Cavuto's new book. Here's a preview of the book, written by Cavuto:

"One of the things I do at the end of each show is a special little commentary called “Common Sense,” in which I highlight an issue of the day or sometimes just a small, little event that day. Sometimes the event is well known and well chronicled. Other times, most times, it’s not. It’s about a doorman outside a hotel braving a blizzard and ungrateful people, but nevertheless smiling throughout. It’s about a woman dying of cancer, trying to make the most of the holidays with the few close family and friends gathering with her one last time.

These are the things that move me. These are the events that define me in life, and what I consider important in life. As in my last book, "More Than Money," I don’t hide that I have had a tough life in many respects. I fought back a near-life-ending cancer, only to end up with multiple sclerosis years later. Doctors have since told me that the odds of contracting both diseases in the same life are something like two million to one! Yet here I am, marching on, continuing to do my job when doctors who’ve examined my scans and MRIs tell me I shouldn’t be walking or talking.

I’m not here to lament my woes or win sympathies (although if it keeps me out of doing chores at home I can and will pour it on!) but to measure life by the little, profound things I see in life. These are my thoughts…on wars and those who fight them, on friends and those we think are friends, and on dying and those who did it with dignity.

I don’t venture to think this book will change your life. I just hope it will make you a tad more grateful for your life, including those things that come at a high price and those that are simply…priceless."
