Author Description

The 2nd Edition of this popular title features an entirely new chapter on the relationship between Kids, Money and Happiness, based on requests from parents for help in this complex area. It's also fully updated to include reader feedback plus new research insights and examples. Why do happy people make better investors? Why are lottery winners no happier than the rest of us? What makes mature women better investors than young men? Why do we let the Joneses next door determine what car we buy and where we take holidays? How can we help our kids achieve emotional resilience and wealth? And why, if we're so rich, aren't we so happy? How we think has a huge effect on our success in life and the financial markets. We're richer, live longer, and have more choices than ever. Yet many of us fail to choose the things that will make us happy. Drawing on research in psychology and behavioural finance plus their years of practical experience, Arun Abey and Andrew Ford show how to identify your real values, set goals for each stage of your life and arrange your finances to achieve them. This practical, accessible guide will not only challenge the way you think about money and happiness, it may well inspire you to change your life
