Brett McKay here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness Podcast.

Money Can't buy happiness.

It sounds good as a bumper sticker platitude.

But the truth is, money can buy happiness, at least sometimes, in certain circumstances,

if we view it and use it in the right ways.

Here to impact the conditions under which money can buy happiness and facilitate our

flourishing is Dr. Daniel Crosby, a psychologist and behavioral finance expert and

the author of The Soul of Wealth,

50 reflections on money and meaning.

Tain the show, Daniel shares the minimum income level at which money buys happiness,

at least in the sense of avoiding pain.

We talk about how to purchase material things in a way that increases happiness,

while avoiding materialism,

and the value of using your money to buy help and freedom.

And we discuss the importance of finding an overarching Y

that guides the way you allocate your money and

doing a values audit to see if your purpose and spending habits are aligned.

After the show is over check out our show notes at Awim.

Man, thanks for having me back.

So you are a behavioral financial expert who's written books about how to leverage our psychology

so we can invest better.
