In this episode, Ken Honda, renowned author of 'Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money', joins host Lane Kawaoka. Honda shares insights from his journey as a bestselling finance and personal development author in Japan, now aiming to impact the American audience. With over 7 million copies sold since 2001, Honda advocates for a shift from 'unhappy' money to 'happy' money—money earned through joy and spent without guilt. The discussion delves into money personality types, the importance of aligning work with personal joy, and achieving financial freedom. Honda emphasizes the significance of emotional financial EQ alongside IQ, and the transformative power of appreciating money's role in life. The conversation also explores family dynamics around money, teaching kids about financial freedom, and Honda's upcoming book 'True Wealth', aiming to redefine the essence of wealth beyond monetary value.
