It is an indisputable fact that all human beings are different. Therefore, it is impossible for the concept of happiness to be the same for all people, making it a difficult subject to define.

However, despite everyone's different dreams and concepts of happiness, there is in fact a common denominator in happiness, a universal source of joy that is the same in all cultures and all times: satisfying the need to have control over our lives.

Many people associate that control with money, because in the common imagination wealth is equivalent to having the power to do whatever one wants. Therefore, people aspire to become richer in order to be happier, thinking that the more wealth they accumulate, the easier it will be to achieve happiness. But things do not work out this way.

The control of our life is not given by the money itself, but by the capacity we have to get up every morning and decide to do what we want; that is the only source of true prosperity. If you have a lot of money but you can't do what you want, when you want, with whom you want and for as long as you want, you are not really in control of your life.

Knowing how to use money and your career to achieve that control is the focus of this guide.
