Discover a powerful new way to look at your money and your
life.
Where do our attitudes about money come from--and how do they
influence our lives? How can we approach financial issues with
honesty and without fear?
In this groundbreaking book, renowned Buddhist teacher George
Kinder, a Harvard-trained certified financial planner, demonstrates
how we can literally transform our lives emotionally and
financially by achieving "money maturity"--a full understanding of
the spiritual and psychological issues surrounding our money
lives.
Drawing on ancient Buddhist wisdom and his years of financial
practice, Kinder has created a revolutionary program that guides us
through the Seven Stages of a revolutionary journey--one designed
to help us uncover the roots of our attitudes about money, and
attain true peace, freedom, and security in our financial lives.
Learn how to:
Understand feelings that impact taking financial action
Develop understanding and knowledge about money
Eliminate stress and anxiety around money
Let go of old patterns and painful habits
Approach money tasks with energy and optimism
Design a money life that is fulfilling both financially and
spiritually
Filled with practical information, market-tested, wealth-building
skills, personal success stories, and spiritual guidance, The
Seven Stages of Money Maturity is an invaluable guide to a
rich--and richly lived--life.
1.Innocence--The
childhood state we are born in, devoid of any concept of
money
2.Pain--The
discovery that we have more money than some and less than others,
and that work is necessary to make a living
3.Knowledge--The
intellectual task of learning financial techniques such as saving,
budgeting, and investing
4.Understanding--The
emotional work done in coming to terms with feelings around money,
such as greed, envy, and resentment which are rooted in
Pain
5.Vigor--The energy
physical, emotional, and spiritual that must be expended to reach
financial goals
6.Vision--The
direction of Vigor outward toward the health and welfare of
communities, with or without profit motive
7.Aloha--The
compassionate goodwill that allows one to use money to perform acts
of kindness without expecting anything in return
Using THE SEVEN STAGES OF MONEY MATURITY, readers will understand
each encounter with money as a step toward awakening; a lesson
about the relationship they share with others as well as with the
self. --
