About this listen
New lessons on success and abundance from the author of the international bestseller Happy Money, founded on Zen principles and delivered in a spirit of compassion, freedom, and joy.
Embark on a transformative adventure with Kei as he unravels his grandfather’s legacy, one letter at a time.
Upon the passing of his grandfather, Kei inherits a series of nine letters covering 80 years of his grandfather’s learned wisdom. Each unveils an important lesson about what’s most important in life—achieving a joyous and successful life beyond material wealth.
Motivated by these letters, 20-year-old Kei begins an introspective international journey—from Tokyo to Hokkaido to Bangkok, Bhutan, and beyond—to learn about his grandfather’s past. Listeners follow Kei along this path as he absorbs the essence of each lesson and its fundamental value.
Listeners will explore:
· The value of failure to propel us forward
· The power of determination to chart our course
· The opportunity we have, every day, to choose actions that will change our lives
· The intricate balance between money and true abundance
· And much more
With every letter, Kei's worldview expands, leading him closer to understanding his grandfather's legacy and the profound meaning of true wealth. The letters invite listeners to contemplate the meaning of wealth beyond financial abundance and propel them toward a life rich in happiness, purpose, and authentic connection.

"I can't afford that." "Now's not the right time.... I need to save up." "Quit my job? Are you nuts?!" Sound familiar? Money is one of the biggest excuses we make to not go after what we really want. Our fixation with money - the desire for more of it, and the fear of not having enough of it - is often really just a longing to feel safe. But this obsession with money is coming at a much bigger cost: our sanity, our creativity, our freedom, and our ability to step into our true power.

A Happy Pocket Full of Money, first published in 2001, so impressed Rhonda Byrne, that she asked author David Cameron Gikandi to be the Creative Consultant on the global film phenomenon, The Secret. True wealth is not about buckets of cash. True wealth is not about designer clothes. It is not about a new Mercedes. It is not about living in a palatial estate. True wealth is about discovering value within yourself and value within other people.

Critic reviews
“True Wealth reads like the blueprint or road map to happiness and abundance that we all wish we were taught when we were little but never had the chance.

“True Wealth is the contemporary spiritual novel of our age, and Ken Honda has crafted a story that touches the true essence of what it means to live authentically. It will change your life.”—Michael B. Beckwith, founder and CEO of Agape International Spiritual Center and author of Spiritual Liberation and Life Visioning

I will say, that I really needed this. Where teachings aren’t done by set steps & guidelines. But instead a life being lived Story. This was so helpful for my mind to imagine and to also reflect with.

Engaging, exciting and full of valuable life tips!
The story was very engaging and exciting that I wanted to keep in listening. I really enjoyed the different narrations based on who was speaking as it brought it more to life. The story plays out in actions the life tips/ advice throughout that I felt made it easier to understand and take in vs just reading it as information. Highly recommend all to read or listen to the audiobook. I can’t wait to read-listen!
