Happy money : the new science of smarter spending

Dunn, Elizabeth, 1977-2014
Book
Studies have long shown that after a fairly low threshold, income and material wealth have no measurable effect on happiness. But how we spend our money does. In this groundbreaking book, Dr Elizabeth Dunn and Dr Michael Norton explain the secret to "happiness-efficient" spending. Using their own cutting-edge research, they reveal: Why it's better to buy concert tickets instead of a new iPhone That adverts actually make television more enjoyable Why you should book your next holiday many months in advance Why charitable giving is the best investment you can make A rare combination of informed science writing, wit, and practical pointers for a rewarding life, Happy Money will help you to be more fulfilled for less.
