Summary
Stop chasing money and start redefining success

Sure, money is important. And yes, it can make you happy—but only up to a point. The truth is, science has shown that we each have a set point that links our earnings with happiness; go beyond that point, and your happiness ceases to increase with income.

In this illuminating guide to living a financially healthier, and happier, life, bestselling author and financial journalist Andrew Hallam demonstrates how you can optimize your income for maximum happiness by investing responsibly and living according to your values. You’ll find tips for using robo investors, insights for investing in socially responsible funds, and how to align your spending with what you hold most dear.

Drawing on behavioural science, evidence-based investing, and environmental science, he shows you how to start framing success in a way that actually brings happiness, not stress, into your life—by balancing your money, connection, health, and purpose.

Whether you’re a broke teenager, a middle-aged millionaire or someone who hopes to retire on a shoestring, we all have one thing in common: we want to enjoy our lives. That means living better and laughing more. It means caring for the environment and helping our children to succeed—while defining “success” the way we really should.

Very disappointing compared to the first. A lot more hokey anecdotes that are tangentially related to the topic. The first book is much more informative, this reads more like a blog post or a quick cash-grab with very little relevant new information. Also lots of awkward shoehorning of political beliefs into this one for some reason.

This book was excellent! I enjoyed the wide variety of topics that the author discussed that can lead to a more fulfilling life. Everyone will be able to take something from this book.
