What is the American Dream?
"The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.“
--James Truslow Adams, Epic of America, 1931
"... a focus on more of what really matters, such as creating a meaningful life, contributing to community and society, valuing nature, and spending time with family and friends.“
--Center for a New American Dream
