Did you know that the average toddler, according to some research, hears the word no up to 400 times a day?

Yet it's a word that strikes fear in the heart of many a grown-up professional in their 40s, 50s or 60s.

If we treat rejection and the word no as a big, bad, fearful thing, then we're frankly less likely to ask for the things that we would love in order to thrive at work. We're even less likely to ask for the things that we need to survive at work

So if hearing the word, no, fills you with fear or freezes you into doing what you've always done. Then this week’s Joy At Work Experiment is designed for you.

Do you believe that there is a connection between your level of joy and money?

Many people do, which is why it's so important to take a deeper look at the connection between the two.

Today I’m talking with Chris Budd, author of 'The Financial Wellbeing Book' and co-host of the Financial Wellbeing Podcast to discover how our financial habits influence long-term happiness, the set point theory of well-being, and practical advice on becoming more aware spenders. Chris also sheds light on the concept of 'financial well-being junkies' and offers strategies for achieving sustained happiness through meaningful activities and quality social relationships.
