Happy Money: The Science of Smarter Spending

Can money buy happiness? HBS Associate Professor Michael Norton certainly thinks so - if you follow five core principles of smarter spending. Michael is the co-author, with Elizabeth Dunn, of a new book: Happy Money: The Science of Smarter Spending.

Please join us to hear Michael Norton share insights from his new book. The book provides five research-based principles designed to help people use their money in happier ways - whether they have a little or a lot of it. The book is full of recent research and examples that range from how individuals gain happiness by choosing "experiences over stuff" to how companies seek to create happier employees or 'happier products' for their customers.

Along the way, you'll learn:

  • Why you would be just as happy driving a Ford escort as a BMW
  • Why most residents of London have never visited Big Ben
  • Why commercials make TV better
  • Why you should be giving more money to charity
  • Why drinking Diet Coke Lime is like getting attacked by a shark
