Is your money making you happier? Wealth and Happiness by Jaret Wilson is a thoughtful, research-driven guide to managing money with purpose, clarity, and emotional intelligence. This isn’t just another book on budgeting or investing—it’s a practical exploration of how financial decisions impact your long-term life satisfaction. Wilson, a seasoned hedge fund manager, blends real-world data with psychological insight from behavioral economics to unpack the often-overlooked forces behind how we spend, save, and invest.

From the hidden opportunity costs of higher education to the subtle traps of credit cards, gift cards, and “retail therapy,” Wealth and Happiness teaches listeners how to evaluate money choices through the lens of expected value, not just emotion. What sets this book apart is its emphasis on why we make financial decisions—not just how. Drawing on decades of experience in finance and behavioral science, Wilson illustrates how to use money as a tool to buy freedom, security, and fulfillment—without falling into the cycle of overconsumption or decision fatigue.

Whether you’re planning for retirement, trying to invest wisely, or simply aiming to get more satisfaction from your spending, this book is a must-listen. Wealth and Happiness is for anyone who wants to build not just a stronger financial future, but a better life. Start making smarter choices with your money today.
