Jackie is an amazing communicator. More episodes from from her please!

Money takes things away which stop you from being happy is a good take I’ve heard.

Spot on. We're taught from a young age to chase the dollar, but as we get older, we realize it's really about discovering and pursuing our passions.

There are definitely things that make me happy that I can’t afford to do more then once or twice a year, whereas if I had money, I could just do it leisurely. So I’d think money does indeed make people happier. Especially if you earned your money and weren’t born into it.

She is a really good presenter. Having some text or graphics popup while she is speaking would be really helpful

Nothing external to you can make you happy. The mind is the all powerful creator of your circumstances Your happiness is determined by your ability to consciously choose to be happy in the present moment

I never head it phrased “removes stress” which is very accurate and better than “makes life easier”
