The central idea in Eleanor Roosevelt's "What I Hope to Leave Behind" focuses on the importance of family and the happiness that family gives to the people. It is the simple way of living that helps in bringing the joy in the life. The materialistic things and wealth are the distractions and these can never equate the value of joy. The real joy of life lies in the family and community. Happiness generated from money do not give pleasure as compared to the happiness of the love and family.
