"With over 70% of American workers living paycheck to paycheck, basic money management skills are needed desperately. This is a masterful work that guides us to discover our own money dysfunctions and takes us on a journey to healthy financial behaviors."
ûSally Hass, Employee Benefits Life Planning Manager, Weyerhaeuser Company
"This book combines solid knowledge of societal trends in personal finance with guidance on how to develop a sense of purpose about money and get financially fit for a lifetime. I heartily recommend it."
ûKelvin Boston, host Moneywise PBS Series and author of Who's Afraid To Be A Millionaire?
"The rules have changed on how to achieve the American Dream. What many of us consider a fundamental right will be out of reach unless we get smart and take action now. The authors get right to the point by helping readers define what they care most about and then set them on a path to achieving true financial well-being."
ûCarol Anderson, President and CEO of Money Quotient, specialists in financial planning education
"The authors have looked at the current disastrous consumer model and envision a æNewÆ American Dream. They break the rules, set up a new framework for humanized finances, and challenge consumers to change the future by changing their habits, now."
ûDean Brassington, Financial Educator and U.S. Navy Quality of Life Program and Design Consultant
"The great merit of this book is that it reads like an engaging conversation. Given the mass of undigested financial information, everyone needs this discourse that helps to position and orient oneself in the money universe, and then act. It bridges the gap between a complicated world out there and one's personal and family orbit."
ûJurg Siegenthaler, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, American University
