"People are confused about money. Although it is a major driving force behind many of our lives (what we do to get it and how we spend it), we aren't taught about it at school. Most people are lost, confused into over-spending and even those with savings mis-sold financial products they don't need or want. It can be so much simpler. There is a simple path to understanding money, following a zen-like approach that balances mindfulness and money to achieve financial peace of mind. The Little Book of Zen Money illuminates this path, making it simpler to follow, and a joy to complete. It disentangles finance with theories so simple a child can understand them -- because they should -- alongside practices that reinforce our behaviors: meditations, mindfulness exercises, mantras, money-journaling and more. The book is divided into three main parts: Part 1 - The Zen of Money; Part 2 - The Path is a MISSION; and Part 3 - The Path is a Practice"-- Provided by publisher.
