Web. 5 Nov. 2015. “Think about all the myths you've been taught about money. Money does not contribute to peace of mind. Material things do not contribute to happiness. We can never honor things if we use them as a means to self-enhancement. Author Daniel Arthur Nelson, who has gone from living a hardscrabble life to one of pleasure and luxury, sweeps those lies aside. He contends that money helps people achieve great things, and wanting it is an honorable desire. Money can bring economic security and allow you to enrich the body, mind, and soul. Underestimating the peace and happiness money can bring you is a dire mistake that could have devastating consequences. While there is nothing intrinsically bad about poor people, the notion that there is Virtue in poverty is misguided and harmful. On the contrary, the sensible and moral view is that the love of money, properly balanced, is indeed, righteous. Seeking material success allows you to live a more productive life and enjoy The Virtue of Money.” \think Nelson is on the pro side of “money brings happiness”. Monetary wealth is a base for people to chasing happiness and other internal satisfaction. This book may answer: How does wealth bring happiness into a man’s life? Why people still feel empty inside after achieving monetary success? Can you get internal satisfaction without monetary wealth?

We first examined our hypotheses in study 1 in a particular setting of consumption, and replicated our findings in study 2 in a more generalized setting of interpersonal situations. The two studies produced essentially consistent results. We found individuals high on face consciousness tend to be less happy, and the negative association between face consciousness and happiness is ameliorated by their financial situation. These results revealed the importance of face consciousness as an individual difference in predicting happiness. The implications of these findings for future research are discussed.
