Taming Your Money Monster reveals why we have such radically different - and often destructive - relationships with money. As a former monk turned money manager, I've discovered our financial behaviors aren't just about numbers - they're deeply rooted in our personality type and childhood wounds, creating distinct "money monsters" that sabotage our financial well-being. Through storytelling and practical insights, I blend the ancient wisdom of the Enneagram with modern financial savvy to help people identify and tame these inner saboteurs. Whether managing a monastery's bankruptcy or helping clients build wealth, I've seen firsthand how understanding your personality type can transform your relationship with money from one of conflict to harmony, leading to lasting financial and spiritual growth.
