Summary of Brad Klontz & Ted Klontz’s Mind over Money (EPUB)

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The basics of financial health are simple: save now and invest for the future. Spend reasonable amounts of money to enjoy life and accomplish your goals, but spend less than you earn.

#2 The human givens approach is a new psychological framework that combines current neurological research with earlier work by theorists such as Abraham Maslow. It identifies not only universal human needs but also a range of innate resources available to all people to meet those needs.

#3 The brain needs money to function, and it takes up a lot of our attention because of this. It is no surprise that many people have tumultuous and self-destructive relationships with money.

#4 Money is essential, but the cruel irony is that more of it doesn’t automatically solve our problems or relieve our stress. In fact, many studies have shown that at or above the average American’s income, there’s no predictable correlation between money and happiness.
