Daiwa Shobo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, President: Satoshi Yamato) will release "Stories of Money and Happiness I Wished I Knew in My 20s" (Author: Ken Honda) on April 8, 2026.
Taught by the author who has researched "money and life" for over 40 years!
I often receive this question:
"Which is more important, money or happiness?"
I always answer like this:
"The question itself is wrong."
Money or happiness.
This alternative way of thinking is exactly what makes many people unhappy.
"If you chase money, you cannot be happy."
"If you seek happiness, give up on money."
There are many people who have such beliefs.
But that is incorrect.
Money and happiness are not in conflict. Rather, by pursuing both simultaneously, life becomes richer.
Because you have money, you can do what you want to do. Because you can freely do what you want to do, you can become happy. And because you are in a happy state, you can be kind to people and do good work.
As a result, money comes back in again.
Creating this virtuous cycle joyfully is the theme of this book. (From the text)
