Money often fails to buy happiness - but not because it can't. It fails because people aren't spending it right. In an attempt to chase contentment, cash is splashed on ever-grander homes and ever more complicated smartphones.
The problem is new studies show that this strategy is completely wrong. Informed by their own extensive, cutting-edge psychological research, Dr Michael Norton and Dr Elizabeth Dunn present a brilliantly practical guide that will help everyone - from the budgeting family to business and charity leaders - think about money in the most efficient, happiness-maximising way. Revealing why you should buy experiences rather than material goods, turn regular buys into rare treats, and use your money to help other people you care about, Happy Money will prove the smartest purchase you ever make.
