Welcome to the Personal Growth BookClub Copenhagen! On the 14th of Novembrt we will discuss the topic of financial mindset and personal values based on the book "The Art of Spending Money" Main book 📚 "The Art of Spending Money" by Morgan Housel 🧠 Topic Overview: Money, Behavior & True Value We often focus so much on earning and saving money that we rarely stop to examine how we actually spend it. By exploring our personal relationships with wealth, we can move past societal expectations, use money as a tool to support our core values, avoid common behavioral traps, and design a life that brings genuine fulfillment. 📚 Book Description: The Art of Spending Money by Morgan Housel In The Art of Spending Money, best-selling author Morgan Housel shifts the focus from building wealth to the rarely taught skill of spending it wisely. The book unpacks the hidden psychological drivers behind our financial decisions: 💡 Spending for Purpose: Learning how to use money to buy independence, autonomy, and time rather than status. 🎭 The Trap of Social Comparison: Identifying when spending is driven by ego or impressing others versus authentic enjoyment. 🛡️ Security vs. Consumption: Understanding how financial peace of mind often provides far more happiness than material goods. 🎨 Personal Finance is Personal: Crafting a spending style that fits your unique personality, values, and life goals. The book offers a practical, reflective look at money, helping you stop spending on autopilot and align your financial choices with what truly matters to you. Whether you've read the whole book or are just starting out, come share your insights and connect with fellow personal growth enthusiasts in Copenhagen! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- I am trying Luma for this event, so you can also find the meetup here: https://luma.com/gfuqtqqk and follow the calendar: https://luma.com/calendar/cal-DWmnurqV0cOmB8T \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- What can you expect from the meetup?
