The True Cost of Happiness: The Real Story Behind Managing Your Money

Praise for The True Cost of Happiness
"Financial ignorance is NOT bliss, it is a disaster. This book is the ultimate wake–up call to passionately invest in what you love, which is having blissful control over your own destiny!"
—Janet Hanson, founder, 85 Broads, and Chairman, Milestone Capital Mgmt.
"Money is where the ′soft′ sciences of psychology and soul meet the hard rubber of reality like paying the bills and planning for the future. Stacey Tisdale and Paula Boyer Kennedy help you better understand your relationship with money and design your money life to serve your deeper dreams, purposes, and goals."
—Vicki Robin, coauthor of Your Money or Your Life and cofounder, Conversation Cafés
"I worked with Stacey Tisdale for years, and had the pleasure of seeing firsthand the skills, commitment, and enthusiasm she embodies that have helped millions of people use their finances to improve their lives. You can literally take the information she and Paula Boyer Kennedy share in this one–of–a–kind book to the bank!"
—Russ Mitchell, CBS News Correspondent/Anchor
"Your attitudes toward money and your life experiences are more closely tied together than you realize. This book tells you how to unravel the knot and benefit from the insights."
— Lyle E. Gramley, Senior Economic Adviser, Stanford Washington Research Group, and former governor of the Federal Reserve Board
