Rather than just working to pay the bills and get by, there are many opportunities for people who hope to live richer lives doing what they are passionate about and believe to be important, to find their true calling, and in putting their skills to use to contribute to society in a positive way. A key for these people can be found in the Half Farmer, Half X way of life, in which "half of a person's time is spent on subsistence farming to provide food for themselves and their family, and the remaining time is spent doing what they want to do, what they believe they want to spend their life doing."
