The Financial Wisdom of Ebenezer Scrooge is one giant step beyond the financial self-help books youll find on the shelf of your local bookstore. While other books simply increase your knowledge about financial issues, this one helps you change the persistent behavior patterns around money that block your path to success. Better yet, by hooking the lessons to a story that we all recognize, it makes these transitions easy to relate to.

Meaning, and Money
The importance of understanding the psychology of money is vital to our financial and personal well-being, and yet is so poorly understood by most people. This book provides a very creative, inspirational and practical step-by-step approach to identify what you think about money (money scripts), the maladaptive emotions and behavior associated with irrational thinking about money, and, most important, what you can do to transform your irrational money scripts to financial wisdom.
Steven Miyake, Ph.D.

The authors artfully combine their areas of expertise and personal stories with the allegorical lessons of a literary classic. The result is a life-changing guide for all who want to take control of their own financial destinies. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

If you have never thought of money as among your relationships, the perspective offered in this bookthrough a combination of psychological principles, financial wisdom, literary insights, and personal anecdoteswill surely change your thinking. You may even achieve the transformation the authors seek to facilitate! This book is enriching in ways that money cannot be. Its not too late to add it to your book list for this year, nor to give to a family member about whom you care deeply.

FOREWORD BYNAOMIJUDD
When you admire someones wisdom you want to learn all you can from them. Even if its learning about a topic that typically bores me to sleep, like MONEY. As an avid reader, my preference is non-fiction, particularly psychology and medical. I never considered the topic of money a good read, but when I learned that my life-coach, whom I respect beyond description, had written a book on money I was very curious. As I began to read this book I became totally taken by the message and the methods the authors had used to talk about a subject, the management of which, is a problem for so many of us.
