Praise for Money & Happiness

’Laura Rowley makes us all understand the money-happiness
connection in our own lives so that we spend our time and our
efforts wisely. She gets to the heart of why money can bring
feelings of stress, joy, and freedom, and Rowley offers insight
that every reader can use to make smarter decisions that will lead
to living a rich life in every possible definition of the
term.’

–Lucy Danziger, Editor in Chief, Self magazine

’This is a wry and companionable guide to getting your finances in
better sync with your values, and who wouldn’t be enriched by
that?’

–Melinda Henneberger, Contributing Editor, Newsweek

’Money and Happiness takes cold, hard, financial information and
warms it up through the voice of your best friend. You’ll find out
how to achieve your life dreams, and avoid money nightmares. The
cost of this book may be the best investment you’ll ever
make.’

–Kevin Mc Kinley, CFP, author of Make Your Kid a Millionaire and
host of public radio’s On Your Money

’Let Laura Rowley guide you to a rational and rewarding life by
helping you re-order your approach to your financial well-being.
This book covers all the dimensions you need to know about how to
plan properly for your reality. She teaches that you need not be
loaded to be happy. And she shows you how to set, then achieve,
your goals. For your sanity, Rowley is a welcome antidote to the
wave of materialism washing over our culture.’

–Allan Dodds Frank, Bloomberg Television
