In his forthcoming book "Life 2.0: How People Across America Are Transforming Their Lives by Finding the Where of Their Happiness," Rich Karlgaard will name the nation's great places to live. [Updated]
"In Life 2.0, I list 150 small towns, medium-sized cities and larger metro regions in the U.S. where you can live well and your dollar will go far.Of course, the "live well" half of my claim is shot through with subjectivity. It will be highly dependent on who you are, and what you want out of life."
[Editor's Note: The list of 150 places is not yet available online but Urban Review - St. Louis provides a sneak preview of the top 10 great places.]
