What if the wealth you worked so hard to earn was quietly costing you something you couldn't yet name? You've built something good - a career, a savings account, a life that finally feels secure. And some nights, instead of feeling proud, you feel a strange, unearned guilt, wondering whether you actually deserve any of it, or whether it's costing you something you can't yet see coming.

Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf arrived in the city of Medina with absolutely nothing, and built two entire fortunes from scratch through honest, unglamorous work - fair prices, honest scales, a reputation no one could ever accuse of cutting corners. Then one caravan of his own goods, seven hundred camels strong, shook the physical ground of an entire city when it arrived. And a single sentence, spoken by the one man whose opinion mattered more to him than anyone else's, stopped him cold: he had been seen entering Paradise crawling, weighed down by the very fortune he was so quietly proud of building fairly.

OPEN HANDS follows what he did next - and what fourteen centuries later, his answer still has to say to anyone who has ever felt a flicker of guilt behind their own good fortune.

Recognize the quiet unease you've never had words for - and finally understand where it actually comes from
