Welcome to Your Morning Boost, presented by AWB Education and sponsored by Grundmeyer Leader Services. In today's episode, host Adam Busch explores Arthur C. Brooks' thought-provoking article from the Harvard Business Review titled, "Does More Money Really Make Us More Happy?"

Brooks challenges the conventional wisdom of the wealth-happiness link, suggesting happiness is influenced more by relative income and non-monetary factors like relationships and purpose. He questions how spending habits, such as spending on experiences versus material items, play a role in our happiness.

With a nod to current inflation concerns, Adam encourages listeners to rethink how financial goals impact true fulfillment and invites them to explore Brooks' insights for a more balanced and meaningful approach to life.
