Today’s guest is Jeff Golden, award-winning author of Reclaiming the Sacred: Healing Our Relationships with Ourselves and the World. Drawing on insights from thousands of psychologists and economists, Jeff distills years of groundbreaking research in his transformative work.

Living a life rooted in simplicity and gratitude, Jeff seeks to honor the wonder and miracle of the natural world. With more than three decades of experience writing and teaching about the intersection of money, happiness, and purpose, Jeff will guide us today through the profound ways money impacts well-being—sometimes enhancing it, but often undermining it.

In this episode we discuss:

How happiness has been in a consistent decline in the US (and many countries) since at least the 1940s, despite massive financial and material gains

Why money accounts for only 2-4% of a person’s happiness

What factors really do matter to well-being and how to cultivate them in our lives

How gratitude can lead to more joy in the everyday
