Money and the Pursuit of Happiness: Knowing the Difference

Written by Derek Hagen

Narrated by Brian Troxell

In Money and the Pursuit of Happiness, an audio course from Scribd Coach, financial therapist, writer, and speaker Derek Hagen unpacks the belief that money doesn’t buy happiness to help you understand and improve the complex relationship between your money and your happiness. Understanding happiness as related to feelings of satisfaction and peace, Hagen explores how to identify what really matters and what you can control; the relationship between money and happiness, and how your relationship with money might be affecting your joy; how to deal with setbacks on the road to happiness; and more. He also shares exercises along the way so you can begin putting what you’ve learned into practice immediately.

If you’re looking for a new take on personal finance — one that considers happiness and emotional wellbeing in addition to financial discipline — Money and the Pursuit of Happiness is the perfect starting point.
