We see the advertisements every day, on TV, in magazines, in our email inboxes: smiling, happy, beautiful people driving around in a shiny new car, or relaxing on an exotic beach, or tapping away on the latest, must-have tech. The implied message in all these ads is the same: money will make you happy. And while there's certainly nothing wrong with having money, or advertising, or buying new things that we want, money equaling happiness is one of those false signals in our society that we have to tune down a little bit. On today's show, we discuss just how much happiness money can and can't buy.
