How To Handle the Feeling of Never-Enough, Quiet the Comparing Mind, and Reduce Financial Anxiety | Morgan Housel

This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hey, hey, everybody. How are we doing? We are coming back today to a subject that I personally find inexhaustibly interesting and that I will never

want to stop talking about, or at least I don't think I will. And that subject is money anxiety. Money is just such a powerful source of suffering and neuroses in my life and in so many of our lives. And so today I'm going to talk to one of the smartest people I know on this subject about how to use money in ways that can actually boost and bolster your happiness instead of sapping your well-being.

Just to say, and you're going to hear me address this right at the top of the interview, this is not just a conversation for people who have a lot of money. This is for everyone. We all have to interact with money unless we're Buddhist monks or something like that. And so how can we do this with a level of sanity and even, and this is the tantalizing proposition my guest holds out, even interact with money as a neutral tool that can actually make us happier. Said guest is Morgan Hausel.
