Not in the slightest bit but with that being said i do enjoy working and the process of making money. There is a reason people with enough money for two lifetimes dont retire.

Never wanted money to be rich so I could buy material things.

I'd like money for freedom. I'm conservative with my money for the most part. And would be if I won 100 million playing the Powerball.

Id be happy if I never had to work again and put up with the bullshit that comes with dealing with people.

Money Attracts Happiness is a popular false premise.

More accurate to state that if someone desires more money and they deliberately cultivate and consistently practice thoughts that make them feel happy, they will attract as much money as they need for whatever purpose they desire

Barman, do you honestly believe that stuff or did you just recently read The Secret, Think and Grow Rich or any of those types of books.

And yes, money does allow you to be happier.

Money can certainly contribute to an improved sense of well being. But if your internal happiness is dependent on any outside source you are vulnerable to not being happy

KING, my primary teachers in recent years are Dr Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Neale Donald Walsch, Abraham Hicks, Deepak Chopra and the Dalai Lama

I used TAGR as a key mind changer in my younger years, but 80 years after it's publication it lacks a lot of useful information that has become more widely understood in Western cultures

I did read The Secret and while it is a useful collection of thoughts, it is way too generic. It's biggest shortcoming IMO is a lack of explanation for why seemingly Bad things happen to seemingly Good People

I'd be more than willing to find out if it does. I believe it would.

harvard has a life long study that the key to a happy life is good relationships. not money.
