So, how much money does it take to keep you happy?

According to John Robbins, a best-selling author, it doesn’t take a lot of money to keep people happy. Once out of poverty with basic needs met, people with a billion dollars don’t rate much differently than the common man on happiness-scale barometers.

He explores the issue in his well written and thought-provoking article titled, “The Economics of Happiness.” He challenges common assumptions about economic indicators and discusses other ways to measure true prosperity.

For the spiritual seeker, his ideas and vision are heartening because they point away from the pursuit of crass materialism as a standard for success to higher ideals that amount to much more than how much money you earned last week.
