Ken Honda Is Coming to Sydney 29 Jan 2027
What if becoming wealthier isn't only about learning how to make more money, but changing the relationship you have with money in the first place?
On 29 January 2027, bestselling author Ken Honda will be in Sydney for Happy Money Summit, a one-day conversation about money, prosperity, happiness and what it actually means to live a rich life.
But the idea behind the event begins with a surprisingly simple question:
How do you feel about money?
What is Happy Money?
Ken Honda is the Japanese bestselling author of Happy Money, with over 9 million copies sold world-wide.
At the heart of his work is a simple idea: money carries more than a number.
Think about the last time you paid for something you genuinely loved. A beautiful meal with someone you care about. A gift you couldn't wait to give. A trip you still talk about years later.
Now compare that with paying a bill you resented, making a purchase you regretted, or opening your bank account with that little knot in your stomach.
The money may be exactly the same.
The experience isn't.
Ken describes this as Happy Money and Unhappy Money. His work explores the emotions, beliefs and stories we attach to money, and how those relationships can shape the way we earn, spend, receive and give it.
For me, the more interesting question is not simply:
How do I make more money?
It's:
What is the money for?
What kind of life are you trying to create?
What does enough look like?
What becomes possible when money stops being something you chase, fear or avoid, and becomes something you can relate to differently?
Those are much more interesting questions.
And they're part of why I wanted to bring this conversation to Sydney.
Ken Honda live in Sydney
On Friday, 29 January 2027, Ken Honda will join us at the State Library of New South Wales for Happy Money Summit.
This isn't intended to be a day about getting richer for the sake of getting richer.
It's a conversation about our relationship with money and the role it plays in a richer life.
We'll explore prosperity, happiness, ambition, receiving, giving and that deceptively difficult question:
When is enough, enough?
Ken has spent decades exploring the relationship between money and happiness, and his work has reached millions of readers around the world.
But I don't want the conversation to belong only to Ken.
I want it to start with us.
So let me ask you
When you imagine being wealthy, what are you actually imagining?
More money? freedom? time? choice?
The ability to take care of the people you love?
The ability to create something that matters?
Maybe wealth is the number in the account.
Maybe the number is only useful because of what it allows us to experience, create, share and become.
And perhaps that's where the more interesting conversation begins.
Before January, let's talk about money
I'm hosting a live online conversation in October around a question I've been thinking about a lot:
How much is enough?
We'll talk about money, ambition, success and what actually makes a life rich.
Not pretending money doesn't matter.
And not pretending money is the only thing that matters.
Just a real conversation about our relationship with it.
