"Money doesn't buy happiness," a term used my many, but also criticized by many. @MGawdat, an Egyptian author, podcaster and entrepreneur, says that once you can afford the necessities and a comfortable life, money will not bring further happiness beyond that point.

I'm very looking forward to reading this book. I've been researching and thinking about the integration of AI for accessibility products, and how it can be incorporated in inclusive design possibilities and solutions. #ScarySmart definitely sounds like a must-read.
