Chris Budd's "The Four Cornerstones of Financial Wellbeing" offers a comprehensive framework for achieving financial well-being that goes beyond mere wealth accumulation. It explores the psychological aspects of our relationship with money, examining how our beliefs, behaviors, and motivations impact our financial decisions. The book delves into self-determination theory, highlighting the importance of competence, autonomy, and relatedness in achieving financial goals. It provides practical strategies for overcoming self-limiting beliefs and developing a healthier relationship with money. Ultimately, the book aims to empower readers to create a financial plan that aligns with their values and contributes to their overall happiness and well-being.

In this book, the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu reflect on their long lives and share their insights on finding joy despite hardships. During a week-long visit in April 2015, they discussed the nature of true joy, confronted obstacles such as fear, stress, and grief, and outlined the Eight Pillars of Joy. The book includes stories, wisdom, and science, as well as their daily joy practices that anchor their emotional and spiritual lives.
