Autor probírá ve své další knize 15 klíčových témat, která mají obohatit život tak, aby byl žit vědomě a naplněně. Život pro něj není dán náhodou, ale volbou.

Urban hájí ctnosti, jako je pokora, trpělivost, odvaha, odpuštění…, nezbavuje je jejich vážnosti a důležitosti, ale plní je velmi živým, a přesto nebanálním obsahem.
