Synopsis

Ken Honda—Japan’s #1 bestselling personal development guru—teaches you how to achieve peace of mind when it comes to money with this instant national bestseller.

Too often, money is a source of fear, stress, and anger, often breaking apart relationships and even ruining lives. We like to think money is just a number or a piece of paper, but it is so much more than that. Money has the ability to smile, it changes when it is given with a certain feeling, and the energy with which it imbues us impacts not only ourselves, but others as well.

Although Ken Honda is often called a “money guru,” his real job over the past decade has been to help others discover the tools they already possess to heal their own lives and relationships with money. Learn how to treat money as a welcome guest, allowing it to come and go with respect and without resentment; understand and improve your money EQ; unpack the myth of scarcity; and embrace the process of giving money, not just receiving it.

This book isn’t to fix you, because as Ken Honda says, you’re already okay!

Ah it pains me to give a two star review to a book that has a big heart. I truly believe Ken Honda is a wonderful man with the best of intentions for the world.

Goodreads review by Liane on March 19, 2022

Ken Honda is one of Japan's best-loved and best-selling authors, with more than a whopping 8 million books sold. So when he writes in Happy Money that he's already figured out what he would do if he lost all his wealth, we have to giggle. He has a good 50 close friends--he says. And if he had to, he......more

Goodreads review by Elizabeth on September 01, 2019

It highlighted lots of concerns I have about having an unhealthy relationship with money, but I feel that it was scant on solutions. Overanxious about your financial situation or a bit of a Scrooge when it comes to money? Be grateful with what you have, says Honda. Unfortunately the roots for these......more

Goodreads review by Annette on February 03, 2025

Happy Money is a fascinating read. At the end, it may not be what you expect. It’s not a formula per say for making money. What it comes down to is finding your purpose and investing in people and friendships. The book dives into our beliefs about money. “Your money – and hence your life – is a refle......more
