Ken Honda Releases New Novel Exploring True Wealth Beyond Financial Abundance

Ken Honda, a Japanese bestselling author known for his profound insights into money and happiness, has released his latest novel titled 'True Wealth — 9 Lessons From a Grandfather on Happiness and Abundance.' Published by Hay House in May 2024, the book follows Honda's previous international bestseller, 'Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace With Your Money.'

'True Wealth' centers around Kei, a 20-year-old protagonist who inherits nine letters from his wealthy grandfather. These letters, written over the course of 80 years, reveal essential lessons on achieving a joyous and successful life that goes beyond material wealth. As Kei reads each letter, he embarks on an introspective international journey, traveling from Tokyo to Hokkaido, Bangkok, Bhutan, and beyond. Each destination helps Kei uncover his grandfather's past and brings him closer to understanding the true essence of wealth.

The novel invites readers to rethink the conventional definitions of wealth. Among the lessons imparted by Kei's grandfather are the value of failure, the transformative power of great relationships, and the importance of determination. Readers are encouraged to embrace their intuition, balance financial and true abundance, and allow life to be guided by synchronicity. The book also discusses practical ways to earn money joyously and differentiates between destiny and fate.

Ken Honda's purpose in writing 'True Wealth' is to inspire readers to live a life rich in happiness, purpose, and authentic connection. He emphasizes the role of gratitude in cultivating a sense of abundance. 'When we cultivate a deep sense of gratitude for the blessings and abundance already present in our lives, we shift our focus from what we lack to what we have. Gratitude opens the door to more blessings,' Honda states.

Acclaimed figures like Jack Canfield and Michael B. Beckwith have praised 'True Wealth.' Canfield, co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series, describes the book as a 'blueprint or roadmap to happiness and abundance,' while Beckwith, founder of Agape International Spiritual Center, calls it 'the contemporary spiritual novel of our age.'

'True Wealth' aims to offer readers not only an engaging narrative but also practical wisdom for achieving a fulfilling life. With over eight million copies of his books sold internationally since 2001, Ken Honda continues to be a significant voice in the self-development genre. His new novel stands as a testament to his belief that true wealth encompasses far more than financial success.
