Something that Millennials seem to be good at is being open to new ways of thinking, especially those that involve doing things that actually make them happy and bring them to a state of contentedness. Although Khe Hy isn't a Millennial, rather a Generation X, he still manages to inspire the younger generation.

Khe (Kay) graduated from Yale and worked on Wall Street, the definition of success. As a millionaire, he had the power to influence society and those around him, but the more money he made, the unhappier he became. So, what did he do? He quit his successful millionaire-making job and opted for something more fulfilling. Everyone around him, including his family, thought he was crazy, but Khe proved them wrong.

Although that was a couple of years ago, he doesn't seem to regret his decision. Since quitting the job so many people desire, he and his wife have traveled throughout the country with their daughter. Rather than focusing his time solely on work, Khe focused on family, rebuilding relationships he once lacked and concentrating more on the important things that truly meant something meaningful to him. So far this lifestyle change has gone well for Khe. In addition to spending time with his family, he meditates every day for at least 40 minutes, and also writes in a journal, both of which he says are incredibly beneficial.

Although this hasn't been the easiest lifestyle adjustment, Khe has noticed a difference, especially when it comes to happiness. When Khe used to work on Wall Street he rated his happiness at nothing over a six-and-a-half on a ten-point scale; however, after altering his lifestyle for the better, he now says his happiness is at a nine or nine-and-a-half. Additionally, in 2015, Khe started "Rad Reads," a newsletter consisting of his takeaways of five of the best books or TV shows he currently watched. At first, only 40 of his closest friends and colleagues received this email, but the business quickly expanded. Now nearly 4,500 people subscribe to "Rad Reads," most of them Millennials, although some are older than their 30s. Because of this, Khe is considered to be the "Millennial version of Oprah."

So far the concept of the newsletter has altered a bit, adding a motto, "Be your best self," and also focuses on an audience of type-A overachievers. Although the newsletter focuses more on already privileged and successful people, such as those who haven't recently graduated college, he challenges his audience to question their lifestyles and mindsets. All those people who thought Khe was insane for quitting his job on Wall Street no longer believe he made the wrong decision. They see how happy Khe truly is and seem to admire that.

Khe, and "Rad Reads," are definitely important figures to keep a lookout for in 2017. Want to find out more about this awesome company and Khe? Go here. If you want to read something Khe's written, check it out here. To subscribe to "Rad Reads" go here.
