This book provides a different approach to thinking about money. The author suggests that you can take control of your life's goals and then the money will follow. I found this book to be more about getting true to oneself and your spouse than a "get rich" plan. I agree with the author's theory that links happiness and pursuit of one's goals with financial rewards.

I appreciated the "getting started exercises" at the end of each chapter. They have encouraged some incredible discussion in our family as we face choices regarding relocation, and home purchases. I also do seem to have more money around and have found myself re-thinking purchases and my buying "process." Having fresh flowers in my kitchen has been very uplifting in February and is noticed by everyone who comes to visit.

I strongly recommend this book for anyone looking to improve on the quality of their life and leave behind "worrying big about the little."

I have been very interested lately in exploring relationship between women, men and money in terms of both personal and professional relationship. While this book did not have answers to the question of why men make more money in the workplace, it did have some very interesting points on how to build relationship and have money (issues) complement those in a positive way. If anything, book should deter any couple from living together without thinking how money and finance can affect their relationship. But what was also interesting was to be able to identify traits of people worth having business relationship with. If anything, I would recommned this book for page 105 and chapter on "Master of Disaster" examples from both business relationship and work perspective. One does not have to live, work or interact with the master of disaster personality under any circumstances! Easy read, valuable common sense advice.

This isn't a financial how-to book, rather this is a guide for how couples can bring their spirit or soul into their financial life, creating something far richer than just the dollars and cents. I think without intending, the author incorporates much of the thinking of some of the best marriage counseling books (such as The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman). Very highly recommended. And at the price it is unbeatable!

William Devine goes beyond the usual how-do-I-invest-to-make-the-really-big-bucks and shows the reader how to use money as a means rather than an end in itself to help make a person genuinely happy.

While there are practical tips on how to deal with money, the real value of the book lies in the author's insights on how to "live large" and let money work for your happiness.

This is a must-read book for newly-weds and long-time married couples alike. Bravo!!

After feeling bogged down with the minutia of finances (managing budgets to the penny, searching for countless tax deductions, considering buying a house solely for financial reasons, and obsessing over my 401k), Women, Men, & Money provided me with an integrated approach to a relationship with money that supports manifestation of my and my spouse's full, unique promise as human beings. It helps me keep money decisions in perspective by staying connected to money's true value and purpose -- to help me and my spouse bring our authentic selves fully into the world. Part of that self actualization is our service, our unique potential for contributing to others, and that's the crux of satisfying and rewarding work (psychologically/spiritually *and* financially). Women, Men, & Money also has lots of great information about how to interact with your spouse about money in a way that affirms and grows your relationship. As a twenty-something married just one year, I found this book extremely helpful in creating a healthy relationship with money in my marriage. Highly recommended.

I totally enjoyed this easy to read format.

William has introduced a great book about Talent, Being Deliberate and strategies to deal with career, money and relationship problems.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself reading this elegant book. I really like his poignant story about his real estate woes and comeback.

The title of the book should be How to create a better relationship with your family, spouse and career with new prosperity/talent consciousness.

I enjoyed the section about finding one's Talent.

I emailed the author because I was so excited about how to create a better solution in my life.

I'm always looking for better ways to live and

Mr. Devine creates a paradigm for wealth consciousness.

He helps define a better relationship to the almighty buck! We can all use his advice.

A talented author, narrator and financial guru is behind this work of art in nonfiction.

I recommend this highly to all my peers in the Generation X and all those followers of Tony Robbins.

I hope I get a chance to meet the author in the reading book circuit!

This is a must read, I've been recommending to all my friends.

I'll go back to it again to re-read.
