Money isn’t just about dollars and cents—it’s about our deepest fears, wildest hopes, and our eternal journal toward wholeness.
In Taming Your Money Monster, financial advisor Doug Lynam dives deep into the Enneagram personality system to explain why we approach money in our own quirky ways. With down-to-earth humor, personal transparency, and helpful charts, Doug makes a highly complex topic easy to understand—then shows us how to outsmart the monsters of our dark financial forest and step into the light of financial freedom.
Doug helps us:
- identify the childhood wounds driving our financial behavior;
- understand how money behaviors function as survival mechanisms;
- transform the shadow side of our coping mechanisms with the better parts of our true selves; and
- harness the strengths of our Enneagram type for good in the world.
