Product Description
Product Description
"A vital, seminal breakthrough work... Kinder penetrates money's enigmas and mythologies with the artist's delicate touch, the critic's discriminating eye . . . and the insightful sensitivity of a good human being. This book is a gift."
--Richard Wagner, former chairman, Institute of Certified Financial Planners
Replace anxiety, self-sabotage, and self-doubt around money with the sense of ease and freedom you deserve in The Seven Stages of Money Maturity, a one-of-a-kind guide in the life-changing tradition of The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom and Your Money or Your Life. A renowned Buddhist teacher as well as a Harvard-trained, nationally prominent certified financial planner, George Kinder draws on both disciplines to guide us toward a full understanding of the spiritual and psychological issues that surround money.
Although many of us may assume that issues of money and spirit are separate, incompatible questions, George Kinder shows us that we must explore them together to attain true peace, freedom, and security in our money lives. Tracing the same path to transformation on which he has led his clients and lectured audiences for years, Kinder leads us through the Seven Steps of a journey to the profound liberation of awakening to a world of abundance and possibility.
Revealing practical, market-tested wealth-building skills as well as the wisdom that contributes to understanding and enriching the role money plays across our lives from the surface to the soul, Kinder teaches us 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
A powerful new way to look at your money and at your life, The Seven Stages of Money Maturity will help us experience each encounter with money as a step toward awakening and a powerful lesson in understanding the relationships we share with others and with ourselves.

From the Author
Understanding spiritual & psychological issues around money.
Are money and spirituality separate and incompatible? The Seven Stages of Money Maturity is my answer to this ancient, perennially vexing question. Like many of us, I used to think the two realms had nothing to do with one another. But now, after many years as both a Buddhist teacher and a certified financial planner, I realize that only when we fully understand the spiritual and psychological issues surrounding money is true freedom possible.
Are money and spirituality separate and incompatible? The Seven Stages of Money Maturity is my answer to this ancient, perennially vexing question. Like many of us, I used to think the two realms had nothing to do with one another. But now, after many years as both a Buddhist teacher and a certified financial planner, I realize that only when we fully understand the spiritual and psychological issues surrounding money is true freedom possible.
In The Seven Stages of Money Maturity I show readers what I have been sharing with clients and lecture audiences for years – the skill and wisdom needed to achieve financial peace, freedom, and security. The journey begins in understanding that we approach our relationship with money by moving through a series of developmental stages. Just as the title implies, The Seven Stages of Money Maturity lays out the emotional dilemmas presented at each step on the path and demonstrates how to move through them toward the sense of ease around dollars and cents that is money maturity.
The Seven Stages of Money Maturity shows readers how to identify internalized messages about money, understand the feelings that affect financial decisions, develop new skills in dealing with money, and take on money tasks with enthusiasm and optimism. The payoff is great: the deep freedom that comes from letting go of old patterns and painful habits and the boundless satisfaction of living a life that is fulfilling both financially and spiritually.

Format:Paperback
"Seven Stages" seriously challenged my view of and relationship to money. I bought this book after reading a profile of the author in the FT, where he explained his belief that "life is about finding out what is profoundly important to you." Money management isn't just about scrimping and saving but also about giving us the freedom so that it can be spent in a way that is important to us. But he does rabbits on for a good 350 pages and the message could have been delivered in 150 pages. If it had been, I suspect it would have been a best seller. A real shame. I hope he writes a condensed version to follow up. Neither am I a new age Buddhist so I got frustrated with some of his wishy washy spiritual passages. But I would still recommend this book to everyone I know because it could change your life.

You'll never handle money (no matter what currency)the same way again once you've read this book. Lots of light bulb moments. You are bound to recognise your self in this book and then recognise others around you with their money behaviour. Recommended

Format:Hardcover
I have read most of the money books that are around and they have all been helpful to various degrees. But now there is a book available that takes money issues to a completely new level. Kinder's experience as a financial planner combined with his understanding of how the mind works from his work as a Buddhist practitioner and teacher has provided anyone with the opportunity to discover the real core of our money issues.
If you have any issues around money, and most people I know do, read this book. You will find it entertaining, practical, and most important you will discover the REAL ISSUES that are keeping you from being at ease around money AND the tools to transform those issues.
