Your New Money Story: The Beliefs, Behaviors, and Brain Science to Rewire for Wealth

by David Krueger MD

Neuroscientists estimate that over 90 percent of our operating systems—beliefs, behaviors, patterns—are unconscious. Since the surface story determines less than 10 percent of our decisions, how can we illuminate the shadow story responsible for over 90 percent of what we do each day? Once we systematically understand our relationship with money, can we overcome the mind and brain’s resistance to change? Especially when so many of the current popular strategies for change are contrary to the way the mind and brain work?

Each money story line contains unspoken assumptions, emotional agendas, and unconscious meanings. Money becomes a portal to the immaterial and the intangible, a Rorschach onto which we project our needs and hopes.



Your New Money The Beliefs, Behaviors, and Brain Science to Rewire for Wealth combines twenty-five years of psychiatric and psychoanalytic practice and over a dozen years of professional and executive mentor coaching with groundbreaking research in psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics to show readers how to recognize money behaviors ghostwritten by hidden assumptions, overcome the brain’s patterned responses that lead to bad decisions, harness the power of regulating states of mind, develop the art and neuroscience of money strategies, and identify and remedy emotionally based money mistakes and financial fallacies. The ROADMAP System deconstructs the process of understanding a money story to systematically construct a new one to write new mind software and rewire the brain for wealth.

Money is the legal tender of desires. (c)
Q:
When we compare our inside to someone else’s outside, we think money can bridge the differences. Money is a ceaselessly renewable promissory note for possibility. But happiness is not a goal or reward. It’s a consequence. (c)

I had a hard time finishing this book. Honestly it seemed largely written to help people avoid trying to become day traders, which seems kind of strange (is this really a big money problem people have?) I also thought the book flowed terribly — sometimes it felt more like a series of unrelated aphorisms than an actual book. On the flip side, I thought a lot of the material could apply to another area of my life that I would like to improve — my health and fitness — and I could see how present sacrifices ensure future success, or how defining myself as a runner now means I will become a runner, or how establishing systems for success means keeping junk food out of my house or finding a workout buddy to hold me accountable. But it really did nothing to help me figure out my mental blocks around spending money.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It had a TON of research and studies to back up the authors assertions. I really liked the quizzes that the author asks to find out more about your personal beliefs about money, debt, and life. The author was really great at breaking down how the brain and mind functions in regards to how you form your beliefs about money.
The best part is that at the end of the book, the author lays out HOW TO CHANGE your beliefs, your MONEY STORY! I loved learning more about positive affirmations and how to do little things to change your life, your thoughts, and ultimately your money.

More self help than money, but a quick read and had some good points. It will not be going on my list of favorite money books.
