Many stressed-out people are attracted to eastern meditation, believing that it will give them relief from their "monkey mind" and lower their anxiety about life. Unfortunately, the monkey usually wins because people find the mental focus required for meditation devilishly hard. On a trip last year to India, I asked a Buddhist teacher why Westerners struggle so much with the practice. "You won't get the benefit from meditation," he said, "as long as you are meditating to get the benefit."

Kirkpatrick estimated that the family has raked in more than $3 billion dollars since the start of Donald Trump's second term, with significant earnings linked to foreign investments.

What if, like food or life itself, money carried an expiration date - forcing it to flow rather than accumulate? Could changing the very nature of money reshape our values and bind communities together - instead of often driving them apart?

Money is not just a tool for exchange; it is a lens through which we interpret success, security, and even love.
