Editorial Review: Product Description: In a society where it is often easier to discuss sex than money, many of us have hidden issues about personal finances. But when fending off bill collectors, begging for salary advances, or borrowing from relatives becomes a way of life, unresolved money problems can lead to enormous stress and destroy relationships, careers, and lives. Do you recognize yourself or someone you love in any of these descriptions? THE COMPULSIVE SPENDER Do you buy things and hide them? THE BIG DEAL CHASER Do you refuse to watch your money because one big deal is going to make everything all right? THE MAINTENANCE MONEY DRUNK Is the pay the only thing you like about your job? THE POVERTY ADDICT Do you feel morally superior to people with money? THE CASH CODEPENDENT Are you afraid to say no to your partner about money? Through their highly effective seminars, Mark Bryan and Julia Cameron have helped many people free themselves from the painful cycle of acting out with money. The Money Drunk offers new perspectives on the real roots of money problems, showing how to dismantle negative family and societal programming about money and how to undo the destructive patterns that sabotage your financial success. The program teaches new, more constructive habits to anyone who has ever had a problem with money. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - mishmosh of other recovery programsFirst of all, I have a problem with books that spend an inordinate amount of time telling me what the book will do and why I need to read it. By the time I got through the sales pitch, I'd read half the book. This appears to be a trend in self-help books as most of them are painfully drawn out magazine articles. Unfortunately, so is this one. The solution presented in this book is a mishmosh pulled from other recovery programs. From DA, there is keeping your numbers (which the authors ... Read More Rating:  - Eye-opening, effectiveI bought the book with the intent to go through the exercises with a friend. I read the book before beginning a schedule and was blown away. Right away, I identified with two stereotypes. It was as if a veil had been lifted because I now understand why I handle things and why I need help. I am in the midst of the steps and I can already tell a difference. Not just in the way I handle money but my attitude towards money and life. The book is effectively well written and blunt. I have read ... Read More Rating: - Change your Mind & Change Your Cash flowThis book goes on to describe 5 different money drunks Among them is the poverty addict, who is addicted to poverty. Usually this kind of person subconsciously feels that in order to be a good person or to be spiritual they must suffer. Then there's the Big Deal Chaser. This person goes from business start up to business start up looking for "THE ONE" to fix it all. They have the subconscious belief of "when I'll get rich I'll show'em all". Then there's the Maintenance money drunk. This person has ... Read More Rating: - Excellent techniques for gaining control over your financesJulia Cameron, the author of the Artist's Way, Walking in This World, and Vein of Gold, among others, has done it again. She and partner, Mark Bryan, have created an approach to personal money management that takes into account our emotional attitudes and training about money. Many times our patterns interfere with the way we are able to deal with money and their approach helps us to unhook those negative patterns. Clear and concise, this book is well-written and brief, but powerful. I highly ... Read More Rating: - Pleasantly amazed...I am what this book characterizes as a compulsive spender. Reading this book not only helped me get my spending under control but also helped me change my opinion on how I viewed money in my life. It really goes through different types of people such as the compulsive spender (me), to the cash co-dependant--someone who actually assists someone with their money issues (i.e. a woman who is continuously giving a boyfriend her money, when he continuously loses the money and does not do him nor her any good.).
