About this audiobook
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!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Everyone tells you to have a good mindset about money. However, they don’t tell you or explain to you how to get one. For the first time in almost 10 years of reading self development books, and studying personal finance. I have learned how to truly shift my mindset surrounding money. I recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with their finances and their money mindset, and feels like they have no way out. Is the few days that I have completed this book, I have learned to completely feel at peace with my financial situation, and I have stopped, stressing and worrying about the future.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5First time to finish an audiobook! Thank you for giving not only a financial advice about money but also making the readers realize that emotions and psychology toward money is also just as important and impactful. It also gives a positive insight to managing money despite the challenges behind earning, saving, spending or investing it. I have enjoyed Happy Money.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a uplifting book that helps upgrade your life.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Omg! Happy money is such a pure, beautiful, and enlightening book. I have come across Ken Honda's book through an influencer that I enjoy his content. I am not going to lie the beautiful design of the book has drowned me into it. However, the moment I started listening to Ken Honda's calming voice and wisdom has filled me with joy! It is a very minimal book. Short and to the point. I am so grateful that there is such a positive, fulfilling book about money and I get to read it. Arigato Ken Honda for this wonderful work.

Totally worth it.
I'm going to listen to this every day for 30 days until this permeates my super conscious. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely wonderful! I've heard it several times and I always find new information to apply in my relationship with money which finally I can enjoy and amazingly my finances are improving because my money is HAPPY now ?☺️
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Looking at the topic of money from the aspect of spirituality and psychology. Sometimes we as humans think about finance as just hardcore numbers. We tend to overlook other aspects of money in terms of life, why was money created in the first place? Wasn’t it just a tool? A means to an end? This book really opened up my mind towards a topic I really felt I already had enough knowledge about, and yet, delightfully, I was proven otherwise. A great read, but listen and reflect with an open heart.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nice book.. very pozitive and constructive
