There are entire sections of bookstores and libraries devoted to helping you achieve financial success, yet most individuals seem more overwhelmed and confused than ever when it comes to their money. More, their financial interactions and beliefs are compartmentalized from the rest of their lives, devoid of meaning and a broader sense purpose, as if one set of values applies to money and another to the pew, the mosque, the prayer rug, or the meditation mat. Morgan Ranstrom, an expert in personal finance who is fluent in matters of money and meaning, shows us that the roots of financial success lie beyond spreadsheets and budgeting calculators, but are often buried beneath a negative money mindset that keeps us firmly within the grasp of zombie economics. Money with Purpose helps us overcome our mental money barriers, achieve lasting financial well-being, and receive the dividends of an undivided financial life.
