Riassunto
Finance expert Doug Lynam offers a groundbreaking exploration of our complex relationship with money, budgeting, and finances through the transformative lens of the Enneagram. Confront financial fears, engage with money habits and behaviors, and develop a personal understanding of how the mind and personality affect money decisions. With compassion, wisdom, and humor, Lynam will guide readers on a journey to financial health and personal growth.
Drawing from his diverse experiences as a marine, monk, and money manager, Lynam introduces readers to our "money monsters", which correspond to our Enneagram type and attachment style to money. These archetypes represent our deepest financial fears and self-sabotaging behaviors.
But Lynam doesn't just identify our financial foibles—he provides a clear, actionable path to overcome them. With sharp wit and profound understanding, he shows you how to:
- recognize and understand your money monster's origins in your childhood experiences;
- identify and understand your "ego addictions" and their impact on your financial decisions;
- transform your financial vices into virtues, creating a foundation for lasting abundance;
- discover your unique "sacred gift" and how to use it to build wealth and create positive change in the world; and
- adjust how you earn, save, and invest to become a money master.
Taming Your Money Monster isn't just about improving your bank balance—it's about healing your relationship with money on a deep, spiritual level. Lynam's approach acknowledges that true financial mastery comes from aligning your monetary practices with your deepest values and authentic self.
This is more than a financial advice book—it's a compassionate guide to personal growth, spiritual enlightenment, and financial freedom. Because when we heal our relationship with money, we heal our relationship with ourselves.
