The psychology of happiness and wealth really has more to do with how you communicate with yourself than any outside force. Most people think that the money comes first - then the happiness. But, contrary to popular belief, money is a byproduct of happiness.

Tony Robbins speaks of the five keys to wealth and happiness, listed below. And, when you examine successful people who are not only monetarily wealthy but also fulfilled in their life, you will notice that the following five elements have been followed.

Five Keys to Wealth and Happiness, as described by Tony Robbins...

1) Learn how to handle frustration.

Just remember, the more rejection you get, the better you are, the more you've learned, and the closer you are to your outcome.

3) Learn how to handle financial pressure.

Here Tony teaches to anticipate a future problem before it appears. This will keep financial pressure gauge from boiling over. A good hockey player skates to where the puck is anticipated to go - not to where it is now.

Also, learn to respond to problems as they arise, and not "react". Too many of us get emotionally involved and take financial pressure personally. Having to undergo financial pressure is not attack on your character or integrity.

As Tony says, "Money is like anything else in life; you can make it work for you, or against you.

Many people harbor the misconception that rich people are greedy and want only for themselves. We get these "mind viruses" from movies like "The Titanic", "Superman", "Spiderman"... and the list goes on where poor people are good and rich people are bad.

In reality, wealthy people are the greatest philanthropists of the world. This is because they attained their wealth by adopting the habit of giving more than they receive.

As it says in Wallace Wattles, "The Science of Getting Rich", the way to get rich is to give more in value than the money you receive. Obviously, you can't give money to get money. But wealth is measured in many ways, and the more you understand the psychology of happiness and the 5 keys to wealth and happiness, the more you will find yourself adopting a new set of beliefs that the best way to help others around you is to first help yourself, then lead others to do the same.

Just remember that you don't need to attain your goal of wealth to be happy; you can simply decide to be happy as you're pursuing your goal. And, it's the journey that brings the keys to a happy life.

    How is it that in a society with such wealth, there is such grave poverty? If you were wondering which society the question was referring to, Panem or the U.S., this draws a great point on the status of our own economic system. In the Hunger Games, the stark difference between the poor and the wealthy, along with how the economics of Panem operate, creates a great divide between the Capitol and the districts; through ethical analysis, we will examine the divide and what it is included. Using Immanuel Kant’s ethics, we see that everything the Capitol does to the districts is wrong, and provides a small piece of the wedge between the districts and the Capitol. Going by Kant…

    It is ok to lie to someone, if the intention of the lie is to protect that person. I believe this statement can be true in most cases, unless the person who’s getting helped doesn’t want their helper to deal with a big punishment. Say a person makes a mistake at their job, and their friend lies to cover for them. The person would be okay if their if their friend managed to keep their job, but would feel guilty if their friend was fired. Thus, it is sometimes better for people not to lie in some cases, for both the one who wants to help and the person who would get help.…
