About this audiobook
After Kim and her husband, Brian, decide to quit their jobs to travel around the world, they're given a yellow envelope containing a check and instructions to give the money away. There are only three rules for the envelope: don't overthink it, share your experiences, and don't feel pressured to give it all away. Through Ecuador, Peru, Nepal, and beyond, Kim and Brian face obstacles, including major challenges to their relationship. As they distribute the money to people they encounter along the way, they learn that money does not have anything to do with the capacity to give but that it is the giving of ourselves that is transformational.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book was great! Good job Kim! But....The narrator was so painful to listen to. Her impressions of men's voices, foreign accents and foreign pronunciation were just too much to bear. I screamed every time she said Annapurna. The publisher needs to hire someone better and rerecord it. Read the physical book instead!
