Financial psychologists explain the surprising reasons why some people are able to build wealth and enjoy life--while others never seem to get ahead.
Fifteen years ago, Stephen Goldbart, PhD, and Joan DiFuria, MFCC, co-founded the Money Meaning and Choices Institute (MMCI)--a company dedicated to helping clients maximize the opportunities and minimize the risks of wealth. They each live with their families in northern California.
Curled Up with a Good Book
“Affluence Intelligence lays out a three-month plan that leads to achievement of lofty goals, recognizing and living priorities, and enjoying a greater sense of possibility…Goldbart and Difuria have turned what sometimes seems an insurmountable obstacle into an enjoyable adventure. Affluence Intelligence helps readers get a grip on the worry and anxiety and transform fear into power. The program outlined here is concrete and perhaps revolutionary, with the potential to redirect an ages-old but dead-end paradigm into a satisfying and productive road trip to a worthy and fulfilling destination.”
Publishers Weekly, 11/7/11
“Readers will find this to be a refreshing take on personal finance, psychology, and self-help.”
“Because the writing and the examples are approachable, especially during the current economic climate, Affluence Intelligence is a thorough tool that can help bring balance, focus, and perhaps happiness, instead of financial worries.”
Midwest Book Review, January 2012
“Recommended for any inspirational collection.”
Success, March 2012 “By addressing the psychology and practice of money management, Affluence Intelligence will help you assess your level of prosperity and create a plan for acquiring the kind of financial and emotional wealth you desire.”
