Maarit Lassander: Money Values, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Money Values explores how our relationship with money impacts our lives from our daily schedule to our interpersonal relationships with friends and family and even our connection to the larger world--- and how, by transforming the way we think about money, we can live with more wellbeing for ourselves and others. By combining insights from psychology, personal finance, and social policy, Maarit Lassander provides a fresh and holistic approach to understanding and reconfiguring our approach to money in the context of global challenges.

Through this comprehensive book, readers will gain access to a wealth of practical strategies and exercises for aligning their money and roles with their values, cultivating financial and emotional resilience, and finding purpose in their personal and professional lives, including:

• How early experiences with money during childhood affect our spending later in life, and how to talk to partners and children honestly about money

• The neuroscience surrounding habit formation and financial behaviors

• The worth of challenging traditional conceptions of success to embrace a more balanced view of progress

• How to build financial and emotional resilience in times of global change and uncertainty

• Tools to manage financial stress and emotions and how to incorporate mindfulness in financial decision-making

• How to use financial capital to affect positive change in your community and on Earth

Featuring inspiring case studies from diverse cultures and contexts, from a space physicist living with his family in arctic Svalbard, to a world traveler who teaches social anthropology in New Zealand, to the global network of investors using capital to fund solutions to climate change, and especially stories of ordinary people juggling everyday responsibilities on a fixed income, Money Values will show readers how to use their financial resources in an authentic way and empower them to contribute to a more just and sustainable world.
