In "Happy Money," authors Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton unveil the profound connection between the science of spending and the elusive joy of happiness. With a compelling blend of behavioral science insights and practical wisdom, this groundbreaking book reveals that the key to sustained happiness doesn't lie in the amount of money we earn but in how we choose to spend it. Through the exploration of five transformative principles, Dunn and Norton guide readers on a journey to unlock the secret to using money as a tool for achieving lasting happiness. From the joy of investing in experiences rather than accumulating material possessions to the fulfillment found in sharing wealth with others, "Happy Money" isn't just a book about managing finances—it's a blueprint for a more joyful, purposeful life. Beyond its insightful principles, "Happy Money" shines a light on the often-overlooked aspects of spending that contribute to our well-being. The authors weave together engaging narratives and cutting-edge research, challenging long-held assumptions about luxury and value. They present compelling cases from companies like Google and Pepsi, which have applied these principles to foster happier employees and customers. This book is an essential read not only for individuals seeking to enhance their financial and emotional well-being but also for companies aiming to cultivate a happier, more loyal customer base. Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton have crafted a lively and engaging book that will transform your perspective on money and happiness, urging you to ponder whether you're truly getting the "biggest happiness bang for your buck."

It answers the question 'can money buy happiness?' - Tim Ferriss
Looking back on their past decisions about whether to purchase experiences, 83 percent of people sided with Mark Twain, reporting that their biggest single regret was one of inaction, of passing up the chance to buy an experience when the opportunity came along.
