HAPPY MONEY The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money

Louis Ozawa Changchien is a likable, often soothing narrator who infuses this excellent guide with a steady flow of calm energy. He helps listeners absorb the author's Zen-like remedies for money stress. Though more care with some of the longer sentences would have been nice, his phrasing is good enough to give listeners the conceptual framework they need to look at money differently. More than what we actually do with it, it's the negative emotions and thoughts about money that we learn as children that trip us up throughout life. This is powerful advice on how to think about money more clearly, balance our emotions about it, and use its energy in life-affirming ways.
