It's what so many of us yearn for. We think it's the center of a good life. And, even though, we're often told otherwise, we believe happiness can be bought, a least a certain amount of happiness.</p><p>So, what is the truth? What does the research show? Can money buy you happiness? Can it buy you a good life?</p><p>The answer, it turns out, may surprise you. Today's audio deep-dive is all about happiness, money and life well-lived. And, rather than talking in generalities, we're heading straight into the rich body of research that shows us the truth. We're vaulting past all the happiness and self-help platitudes, the things we wish were truth, and diving into the actual science of happiness, money and the good life.</p><p>And, you might want to hold onto your seat, because some illusions are about to be shattered. We're doing a bunch of myth-busting and proverb-smashing. </p><p>Money, it turns out, may well matter more than you think when it comes to happiness, and in ways you didn't realize. Moving beyond money, happiness and good life myth-busting, we then give you specific advice on how to \"use\" money to make your life happier, more meaningful and just straight-up better. </p><p>And, we explore the question you REALLY wanna know,\"how much money do you really need to be happy and fulfilled?\"</p><p><strong>Rockstar sponsors:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Get paid online, on-time with Freshbooks!</strong> Today's show is supported by&nbsp;<a href=\"http://FreshBooks.com/GOODLIFE\" target=\"_blank\">FreshBooks</a>,&nbsp;cloud accounting software that makes it insanely easy for freelancers and professionals to&nbsp;<a href=\"http://FreshBooks.com/GOODLIFE\" target=\"_blank\">get paid online</a>,&nbsp;track expenses and do more of what you love.&nbsp;<strong><em>Get your 1-month free trial, no credit card required, at&nbsp;</em></strong><a href=\"http://FreshBooks.com/GOODLIFE\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><em>FreshBooks.com/goodlife</em></strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong>(enter <strong>The Good Life Project</strong> in the “How Did You Hear About Us?” section).</li></ul><p><br></p>","author_name":"Jonathan Fields / Acast"}
