Discover the Japanese Art of Happiness & Prosperity in 8 Simple Steps

Who Is Ken Honda?

Ken Honda is Japan’s most recognizable and influential money teacher. Fondly known as the ‘Zen Millionaire’ in his home country, Ken has penned 58 books (including the New York Times bestseller, “Happy Money”). His work has been translated into 15 languages and sold over 8 million copies.

As a young boy, Ken discovered – the hard way – just how much of an impact money can have on our lives. After learning of a family friend who took both his own life and the lives of his family due to a run-in with loan sharks, Ken became determined to understand why something as ubiquitous as money could have such a deep influence on our behaviour.

And in some cases, with very tragic outcomes.

Ken would go on to build multiple successful businesses and achieved ultimate financial freedom at just 29. But his fascination with our relationship with money persisted. After surveying over 12,000 self-made millionaires in Japan, while being mentored by the late Wahei Takeda (the ‘Warren Buffett of Japan’), he began noticing a common pattern among the richest, happiest and most fulfilled people.

Ken now shares his revelations - and how anyone can raise their Money EQ - empower people with a lifetime of abundance and prosperity.
