Summary of Bari Tessler's The Art of Money

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Money can help us heal from shame, but it can also create new forms of it. We must be wary of the ways in which money can bring us down, and work to understand how to use it to heal from shame. #2 Everyone, regardless of their background, experiences money shame. It’s important to recognize that there is a way out, and it starts with understanding money shame. #3 Money shame is the feeling that you are unworthy of, or not good enough with, your money. It can show up in the form of anxiety around talking about money, fear that you don’t have enough saved for your future, or self-criticism. #4 Some forms of money shame are intense and all-consuming, like the case of Suzie, who bought a house and then experienced a financial crisis that led to the house having to be foreclosed on. Other forms are more subtle, and we may only experience brief pangs of it here and there.
