Editorial Review: What do the latest financial thinking and ancient spiritual teachings reveal to us about financial freedom? Top financial advisor Brent Kessel insists financial success and security is "not about the money." Rather, it's about what's inside us—first understanding your emotional relationship to money, and only then taking action. It's Not About the Money expertly and compassionately guides you along the path to financial security and true peace of mind.
Kessel, founder of two top wealth-management firms, has the inside scoop on the higher wisdom of personal finances, and he wants to share it with you. Through extensive experience as a financial advisor and spiritual seeker, Kessel has discovered that people need to understand their core financial story in order to make meaningful changes. Some of us are savers or caretakers, says Kessel, while others are pleasure seekers and spend like Hollywood stars; some people are idealists who place greater value on creativity or compassion than on financial security; some of us innocently believe our finances will work out without effort; and others obsess about building empires with lasting value. It's Not About the Money will help you identify your money type, providing information and resources as well as exercises and meditations to inspire a fresh approach to your relationship with money that will change your life.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good overview, but little concrete info
This was an interesting book, if you just wanted to see how you fit into the categories he mentions, but there were some glaring inconsistencies. For example, he lists Your Money or Your Life in his recommended reading list, but no books such as The Tightwad Gazette or any others that have any kinds of money-saving hints that you can do right now to help you get to financial abundance.
From reading his book I also got the distinct impression that it never occurs to him that there ... Read More
Rating:  - Agonizing Archetype
At a time when I have been trying to convince my wife and two teenage children that we should spend less, summer 2008, I became captivated by the title, "it's not about the money." Ironically, I spent money impulsively, and bought the book. I confess. I only read half of it, and skimmed the rest. Perhaps, in skimming, I somehow overlooked exciting and new information. But I doubt it.
Essentially, "it's not about the money" tries to help you understand your relationship to money by ... Read More
Rating:  - Book makes concepts easy to understand and apply
This is one of the most inspiring books I've read on the subject of money in a long time. What I like about it is that it is written in an easy to read manner that makes the concepts very accessible. Whether you are attracted or put off by the link to yoga and eastern thought, don't let that get in the way - this is a book about money, and the author draws upon all traditions to illustrate his points.
Read this book with an open mind - if necessary, read it downstairs, in the basement, ... Read More
Rating: - A Different View of Archetypes and Money Types
I first read of archetypes in the book "Money Magic: Unleashing Your True Potential for Prosperity and Fulfillment" by Deborah L. Price (originally published in 2000 as "Money Therapy: Using the Eight Money Types to Create Wealth and Prosperity"). The archetypes in Kessel's book are a bit less distinct in their habits and attitudes about money and how it impacts one's life than those described in Price's book. And the "how to" exercises don't seem to be as well defined in helping one to understand ... Read More
Rating: - A book that is spiritual, thoughtful and practical all rolled into one
Are you ready to discover your money personality? You know, the one that acts like a four year old one day and a mature adult the next. Brent Kessel in his book, It's Not About The Money: Unlock Your Money Type to Achieve Spiritual and Financial Abundance explores the emotional and intellectual aspects of how we deal (or don't deal) with our finances.
Brent Kessel did a great job of marrying the emotional, spiritual and practical aspects of money, financial planning and wealth management. ... Read More
