Zen Money (w/ Ken Honda)

The author of Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with your Money shares insights into his work

“When it comes to money, there are two approaches: love or fear.” That’s what Ken Honda writes in his latest work, Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money. Ken’s books on money have sold over 8 million copies worldwide.

On this episode, we talk about how we can:

  • Feel worthy of money

  • Say Arigato (thank you) to money

  • Make money work in your marriage

  • Make peace with our childhood money experiences

Ken was 29 when he first “retired” to welcome his newborn daughter into the world. He had owned a consulting and accounting business, so successful it had allowed him to close up shop and spend his days with the apple of his eye. Little did he realize his “second” career, impacting millions by helping them heal their relationship with money, was about to begin. That essay was the start of what would become Happy Money, the book we discuss today.

Learn more about Ken on his website.
