HAPPY MONEY BY KEN HONDA

I know what are you thinking. Why I add a money book in this blog post. You know the monk who sold his Ferrari is famous because of his concept and the concept of this book is also true. The author of this book is Ken Honda and he is Japan’s bestselling Zen millionaire.

Money is a greater and bigger concept. A lot of money books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Psychology Of Money, and a lot more. These books explain the concept of Money IQ but This book talks about money EQ and that is more important than Money IQ.

This book has some amazing concepts. Let me share something from this book and after that maybe you can decide you are going to read it or not.

SIX REASONS PEOPLE WANT MONEY

1. TO MAINTAIN A BASIC STANDARD OF LIVING

We all need shelter, clothes, and food. When you asked any people why are you working the common answer is “to put food on the table”. Some people earn a good amount of money but they are still struggling with money because of their spending pattern. People spend a huge amount of their salary on entertainment. We pay money to big entertainment companies ( NETFLIX, AMAZON PRIME VIDEO, AND MORE) to waste our time. Please pay attention to your spending pattern.

2. TO GAIN POWER

Money is often seen as something that has the power to control people and make them do things. People are getting confused between terms like power and happiness. Most people think that more money brings more happiness. The author says that ” they meet very ambitious young people and they say something like how to build my business empire or become one of the world wealthiest people. but what people don’t understand is that even though wealth brings some power, money is not a replacement for trust and genuine love.

3. TO GET BACK AT OTHERS

All kinds of people, rich or poor, feel abused by others at times. We think we can revenge of our insist that is the reason we can’t achieve success. Our intention to become rich is wrong. Even people who can’t afford very expensive things can get wrapped up in using material items to puff themselves up as superior to others.

4. TO FIND FREEDOM

Some people think that money can buy freedom. This is not the case, money can’t buy freedom. Even if you have all the money in the world, if your mind is not free you lose all advantages of that wealth. You first want to get free from all the negativity around you. First, you want to achieve peace in your inner mind, then you can find peace outside.

5. TO GAIN LOVE AND ATTENTION

I don’t know the love concept but attention is true in all cases. We are human beings we all like people talk about us. We love to gain respect, attention in our society but when you try to gain love through your money, you base all your own worth on how much you have. So when your money fails to create deep and lasting relationships, your self-worth will suffer and all the money you were made won’t be able to improve it.

6. TO EXPRESS LOVE AND APPRECIATION

People want money so they express the love and appreciation they feel in their lives. Be careful about that don’t think if you don’t have a lot of money you can’t express love or gratitude towards people. Money is just neutral energy. Money is a vehicle for our emotions and attitudes. If you are good you do good this with a lot of money. If you are effective people you can become more effective. If you have not read my post on how to be highly effective people you click here to read it.

These reasons are super important. This is just a little bit about this book. This book talks about Difference between the happy money and unhappy money ? and what is the difference between Money EQ and Money IQ?. If you want to change your relationship with money. You should read this book.

KAIZEN BY SARAH HARVEY

Kaizen is a Japanese method for transforming habits. Kaizen is a noun in Japanese and is used to mean improvement. The key to Japan’s competitive success is kaizen. Kaizen technique can use for business as well as personal development.

The Kaizen philosophy assumes that our way of life- be it our working life, our social life, or our home life- deserves to be constantly improved.

-Mr Masaaki Imai

We spend most of our lives just working. We put almost 6–7 hours daily on work. That means 1/3 rd of life is going in work life. It is very important to create happiness in your work life so that you live a happier life.

Kaizen is going to help with this. In the book KAIZEN, the author talks about a lot of work but if you did not read my health with kaizen you should go and read it because this gives you some tips to be healthy. Kaizen teaches you how to take yourself. Let me give you a glimpse of it too.

  • Don’t overdo the caffeine
  • Keep to a sleep routine
  • Stay clear of the junk
  • Move your body
  • Practice mindfulness
  • Breathing exercise
