Book Reviews of It's Not About the Money: Unlock Your Money Type to Achieve Spiritual and Financial Abundance

Book Review: Good overview, but little concrete info
Summary: 2 Stars

This was an interesting book, if you just wanted to see how you fit into the categories he mentions, but there were some glaring inconsistencies. For example, he lists Your Money or Your Life in his recommended reading list, but no books such as The Tightwad Gazette or any others that have any kinds of money-saving hints that you can do right now to help you get to financial abundance.

From reading his book I also got the distinct impression that it never occurs to him that there are people who think it is a game to be frugal and get enjoyment out of frugality for its own sake. Others prefer to donate their time to charity rather than money, and he seems much more oriented towards donating money.

Finally, this is not really a book about do-it-yourself investing, because the reader is constantly told to go to a fee-only financial planner.

Summary of It's Not About the Money: Unlock Your Money Type to Achieve Spiritual and Financial Abundance

What do the latest financial thinking and ancient spiritual teachings reveal to us about financial freedom? Top financial advisor Brent Kessel insists financial success and security is "not about the money." Rather, it's about what's inside us-first understanding your emotional relationship to money, and only then taking action. It's Not About the Money expertly and compassionately guides you along the path to financial security and true peace of mind.

Kessel, founder of two top wealth-management firms, has the inside scoop on the higher wisdom of personal finances, and he wants to share it with you. Through extensive experience as a financial advisor and spiritual seeker, Kessel has discovered that people need to understand their core financial story in order to make meaningful changes. Some of us are savers or caretakers, says Kessel, while others are pleasure seekers and spend like Hollywood stars; some people are idealists who place greater value on creativity or compassion than on financial security; some of us innocently believe our finances will work out without effort; and others obsess about building empires with lasting value. It's Not About the Money will help you identify your money type, providing information and resources as well as exercises and meditations to inspire a fresh approach to your relationship with money that will change your life.
