The Secret Language of Money: How to Make Smarter Financial Decisions and Live a Richer Life


Book Description

If money were about math, none of us would be carrying any debt. The numbers are simple. What’s complicated is what we do with money. We use money to soothe our feelings and buy respect, to show how much we care or how little. We don’t simply earn, save, and spend money: we flirt with it, crave it, and scorn it; we punish and reward ourselves with it. Without realizing it, we give money meaning it doesn’t really have—what former psychiatrist and current business coach David Krueger calls our “money story.” And in the process of playing out that money story, we often sacrifice the most important things in our life: our health, freedom, relationships, and happiness. What is your money story? Do you consistently spend more than you have? Do you follow the herd in your investments—even though you know the herd is usually wrong? Have you neglected to save for the future, even when you have the means? Do you feel controlled or shackled by debt? Is your money somehow never “enough”? Is money, or the lack of it, always on your mind? The Secret Language of Money is a guided tour to the subconscious meanings we give money, the conflicted ways our braindeals with money, the reasons we tend to make the same money mistakes over and over—and most importantly, how you can change all that. A brilliant blend of cutting-edge science and real-world application, The Secret Language of Money helps you rewrite your money story and find that elusive balance of wealth, health, and joy we all seek.




Understanding the Secret Language of Money


Book Description

When I started creating the content for this book, my intention was to touch, move, impact, or agitate you, the reader, enough to change your perspective on finance and money related decisions. Some parts of this book may make you feel uneasy. If so, I encourage you to keep reading because you could be nearing a breakthrough. It's very possible to experience several different emotions as you digest the material in this book: curiosity, fear, anger, excitement, or even relief. This process needs to occur so that you can uncover your limiting beliefs. Once you realize what is standing between you and financial security then you can identify the resources and services that can add value to your financial life. My passion in business is to awaken the inner entrepreneur in all of us. The entrepreneurial mindset is present when individuals, families, and small business owners do the following: Educate themselves on financial topics that protect their personal economies Gain confidence in their minds that financial freedom is attainable for them Take action toward customized, one-sized-fits-one solutions through proactive implementation of cutting-edge strategies Establish trust with a team of resources that properly manage expectations Adjust their paths as the world around them changes Why do I find this entrepreneurial awakening so important? I believe that there are real economic forces working against individuals, families, and small business owners who have saver mentalities because they contradict our consumer-driven society. I am not saying these forces are evil or intend to harm the average American, but I do believe that certain elements of our society benefit from the effects of consumerism. Also, I don't want readers to think that this book is only for business owners or entrepreneurs. I believe that you can have financial success regardless of occupation, current age, income, upbringing, or level of education. You will uncover the key to your success as you understand your relationship with money and the habits you have formed over time. Your beliefs about finance are built over many years of experiences. They start when you are a young child through adolescence into adulthood, culminating in your golden years. The ability to uncover your habits and relationship with money is a skill most financial professionals do not even possess. What differentiates our firm, E3 Consultants Group, from every other financial service organization in the country is how we use the science of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). E3 is a comprehensive wealth management firm I started in 2003 that serves individuals, families, and small businesses interested in a different approach to finance and money related decisions. The science of NLP demystifies the link among the mindset, language, and behavior of any human being. NLP is a tool to unlock the clues to where you are right now in your relationship with money and helps solidify our firm's role in adding value to your financial future. Keep this in mind as you proceed, and I hope you can see why I want to proactively challenge the way Americans are educated about finance and money related decisions.

The Secret Language of Influence


Book Description

Spanning the use of storytelling, humor, emotion-evoking language, and questions that advance the sale, this entertaining and practical book demonstrates the power of words to break down resistance and incline buyers toward purchase. A few simple words--the right words--can transform an awkward sales call into a comfortable conversation and a resistant prospect into a happy customer, which is why author Dan Seidman teaches you to think of influence as something occurring at a level just below the buyer’s awareness. The Secret Language of Influence does this by explaining not only how to identify the right words--and which to avoid--but how to use strategic key words and phrases with different potential buyers. You’ll learn the best ways to approach buyers who are: motivated by benefits vs. problems (i.e., wanting to hear about the money they’ll save rather than the pain they’ll avoid); proactive vs. reactive; big picture vs. detail oriented; systems thinkers vs. creative minds; and those who are influenced by external feedback (testimonials, evidence) vs. internal factors (feelings, personal experiences, beliefs). Today’s buyer is savvy and all too familiar with traditional selling techniques, but great selling is invisible. By identifying different ways buyers are motivated, salespeople can quickly customize their conversations and lead prospects to a yes.

The Secret Language of Feelings


Book Description

This book reveals what people have wanted to know about the human condition from the very beginning of time: What are feelings for? Within its pages, you will discover the secret language of feelings. That language is a voice within us. Sometimes it is as soft as a whisper; sometimes it is as loud as a roar. It is an important voice, which, when fully understood, gives you a kind of guidance that no other voice can. The information in The Secret Language of Feelings was revealed during thousands of hours of working with hypnotherapy clients at the Banyan Hypnosis Center for Training & Services. It came from clients who spoke to us both in the normal waking state and in the state of hypnosis. You do not need to undergo hypnotherapy in order to benefit from this book; however, it would make a perfect companion book for anyone involved in any therapy process or working on self-improvement. The Secret Language of Feelings gives you a rational and reliable approach to understanding and responding to your feelings and emotions. It shows you how to create a more satisfying life right now! You will learn how to overcome anger, guilt, frustration, sadness, loneliness and even "everyday" depression. You will better understand yourself, your family and the people you interact with on a daily basis. In short, The Secret Language of Feelings offers the key to emotional rescue and beyond to happiness and success in life.




The Secret Language of Cats


Book Description

Have you ever wondered what your cat is saying? Cats do not meow randomly, nor do they growl or hiss because they have nothing better to do. Cat sounds have a purpose, and they can carry important messages, whether for us or other cats. Susanne Schötz is hard at work on breaking the cat code. She is a professor at Lund University in Sweden, where a long-standing research program is proving that cats do actually use vocal communication—with each other and with their human caretakers. Understanding the vocal strategies used in human-cat communication will have profound implications for how we communicate with our pets, and has the potential to improve the relationship between animals and humans within several fields, including animal therapy, veterinary medicine and animal sheltering. In The Secret Language of Cats, Schötz offers a crash course in the phonetic study of cat sounds. She introduces us to the full range of feline vocalizations and explains what they can mean in different situations, and she gives practical tips to help us understand our cats better.

The Psychology of Money


Book Description

Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.
