Excellent Guide for Handling Money Values
By Tim Lumen on March 21, 2013
Format: Paperback
A good philosophical account about money, although initially when I picked it up from the library shelf I thought it would present tips on saving or making more money.

Full of examples from history -Jane Austin, Cincinnatus etc and it reflected my own ideas about money, as well.

Perhaps an outstanding feature of the book is its balanced and realistic (rather than idealistic) model. The author on one hand acknowledges the importance of money and on the other denounces the possession of a huge amount of wealth, if it is not put to good use. Towards the end, he talks about `inner wealth' where he discusses the example of Cincinnatus which I thought was quite powerful.

He carries a brilliant idea from beginning to the end about the differentiation of `money worries' with `money troubles' and I think I will quote this book in my future life because of this differentiation that I had never thought of before.

The author has been very honest in including a separate chapter in the end about his source of inspiration, chapter by chapter, in

the end.

The language was simple and style marvellous.

The only criticism was that at places the author went too deep into his descriptions, which sometimes became difficult to comprehend. However, this is due to my own failing and poor knowledge----perhaps a problem with any philosophical idea when read by a common man.

Simple to understand, but not simplistic
By J. Bridgens on October 21, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
For most of my life, I've had a difficult relationship with money--either I spend it like there's no tomorrow, or I hoard it as if I'll never see it again. Any purchase I make, good or bad, I struggle with guilt. I've known that these attitudes I have are a psychological issue, but I haven't known where to start in figuring them out. Armstrong provided that for me. With gentle but firm words, he provides a safe place to explore what is a sensitive and emotional issue.

This is a terrific little book...
By Seawalker on July 15, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book simplifies and clarifies one's relationship with money. To quote: "Our worries - when it comes to money - are about psychology as much as economics, the soul as much as the bank balance." It makes you look at what you truly value and puts money in its rightful place. Worrying about money serves no purpose, as the author points out: "Our natural tendency is to spin from one worry to another; we change topic, as it were, but do not really get anywhere. A more desirable habit of thinking is one in which worries are held in the mind, so that they can be turned into genuine enquiries: WORRIES>QUESTIONS>ANSWERS. I highly recommend it. And the soft rubbery texture of the book cover makes makes holding it in your hands a real pleasure.

Well worth your time, and yes, money.
By Ilya Grigorik on December 21, 2013
Format: Paperback
There are two types of money problems: "money troubles" and "money worries". The former relates to our immediate circumstance (bills, debt, upcoming payments), whereas the latter is our inner dialogue about our relationship to money: how much do we need, what is enough, will it make me happy, and so on.

This book does not address the money troubles question - for that, find some other books. However, even if money troubles is the immediate problem, you should still read this book, as it builds a great and practical framework for how to think about our "money worries". For example, as the author points out, first we should separate our "needs" and "wants": you may want many things but not really need them, and you may need things that are out of your financial reach. Having a good relationship with money is not about denouncing it, or seeking to making millions, but rather becoming conscious about how it helps us achieve our larger goals - i.e. how to flourish as individuals.

The book is easy to read and packed with practical examples and advice. Well worth your time, and yes, money.

Charming, practical and wise
By Experienced seminar leader on August 20, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I was captivated from the very beginning of this book, where the author made a most useful distinction between "money troubles" and "money worries." If you spend a lot of energy wishing you had more money, and you have a thoughtful kind of mind, you may find this practical, clearly written book helpful in showing you the roots of your ruminations and the difference between what you want and what you need. Worth keeping and rereading!

Something a bit different
By Debbie D on May 2, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition
Not a book on money troubles but about how our worries are linked to our relationship with money. Some interesting ideas and clear explanations. Nothing over simplistic and really helps you to think things through.

Good exercises
By Paola Arriaga Gro on July 2, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I found this book very revealing in terms of how people can approach money regarding their personal history. It is a work of committing yourself to change those patterns. The exercises suggested have been helpful.
