How to be a Buddhist Millionaire: 9 Practical Lessons to Being Happy in a Materialist World

by Matt Jardine

Overview

Do you feel stuck, and yet fear change? Is the daily pressure of bills and deadlines keeping you trapped in an unfulfilling job? In How to be a Buddhist Millionaire, Matt Jardine, martial arts teacher and entrepreneur, explores the question of how to find purpose and fulfilment in a money-centric world. Skilfully blending Buddhist teachings and down to earth advice, he presents nine practical lessons to help you find your passion, and make it pay. With wisdom and insight, Jardine overturns many of our deep-rooted assumptions about the world and shows us that the "truths" we live by every day are not always as they seem. This book teaches us that money doesn't have to be a dirty word, and that if you search for happiness rather than the pot of gold, success is more likely to follow.
