Taming Your Money Monster

Finance expert Doug Lynam offers a groundbreaking exploration of our complex relationship with money, budgeting, and finances through the transformative lens of the Enneagram. Confront financial fears, engage with money habits and behaviors, and develop a personal understanding of how the mind and personality affect money decisions. With compassion, wisdom, and humor, Lynam will guide readers on a journey to financial health and personal growth.

Drawing from his diverse experiences as a marine, monk, and money manager, Lynam introduces readers to our "money monsters", which correspond to our Enneagram type and attachment style to money. These archetypes represent our deepest financial fears and self-sabotaging behaviors.

But Lynam doesn't just identify our financial foibles—he provides a clear, actionable path to overcome them. With sharp wit and profound understanding, he shows you how to:

recognize and understand your money monster's origins in your childhood experiences;
identify and understand your "ego addictions" and their impact on your financial decisions;
transform your financial vices into virtues, creating a foundation for lasting abundance;
discover your unique "sacred gift" and how to use it to build wealth and create positive change in the world; and
adjust how you earn, save, and invest to become a money master.
