Through the boom of the 1990s to the recent decline of the economy, one thing is clear: money has an amazing hold on us. We think having more is always good, but we still think money is “bad.” Even saying that we don’t care about money is still defining ourselves around money. Making, keeping, and enjoying money isn’t just about investments, salaries, inheritance, or dividends, according to professional money coach Deborah Price. It is also about the games we play around money and the “type” we are in our relationship to money. More often than not, the financial choices we make are unconscious and fear-based, because when it comes to money, most of us feel out of control. This book offers practical steps toward acknowledging the hold of money on our minds and emotions and then using those insights to create not only a better relationship to money but also the wealth and prosperity we desire.
Money Magic describes the games we all play around money, and goes on to define eight money types:
• The Innocent (the ostrich approach)
• The Victim (blaming circumstances)
• The Warrior (conquering money)
• The Martyr (always rescuing someone)
• The Fool (gambler looking for a windfall)
• The Creator/Artist (spiritual/artistic types who see money as evil)
• The Tyrant (uses money to control)
• The Magician (transforms and manifests their own financial reality, creating wealth and prosperity)
Throughout the book, Deborah Price offers stories of her own clients to illustrate the various types and the games we play around money. Exercises within each chapter will lead readers toward their goals, helping them to find their own path to true prosperity.
