GUEST #1 Ken Honda

Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money

Ken Honda shows people how to create a life of abundance by changing their relationship with money

Ken Honda is a best-selling self-development author in Japan, with book sales surpassing seven million copies since 2001. Now, he is sharing his work with English-speaking readers in the United States and beyond. His latest book is called “Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money” (June 4, 2019, Simon & Schuster).

What Is “Happy Money”?

“There is another way of living your life, especially around money,” says Ken. “Clear the fog of anxiety around financial issues. Worry is not good for your health, and you can be free from financial worries. When you feel more relaxed about money, you can trust your future more. And if you start trusting your future more, you have a lot more fun.”

So, what is Happy Money? “All the money circulated with love, care, and friendship is Happy Money,” says Ken.

Does Your Money Bring You Joy?

Ken Honda asks: Does your money bring you joy? If not, you may be unconsciously pushing it away.

Ken offers people an opportunity to transform their relationship with money to a joyful one so they can attract more abundance into their lives and cultivate gratitude for what they have. We can learn to be in a state of Happy Money with all our money exchanges, Ken asserts.

“When money comes in,” says Ken, “you say, ‘Thank you’ or, as we say in Japan, ‘Arigato.’ Even when money leaves you, you can say it again, grateful for how the money served you or what it is bringing to you now.”
