Picture Your Prosperity

December 15, 2014
Money is not life's scorecard of success but a useful tool to achieve more abstract things that are essential to our personal sense of prosperity, assert financial advisors Rogin and Kueng. Whether prosperity is retiring early, traveling, or opening a business, the road map begins with a detailed picture of what prosperity looks like. Drawing on research in psychology and neuroscience, Rogin and Kueng encourage readers to use visualization techniques to clearly define what they want out of life. They offer an array of stories about women who achieved their own ideals of prosperity, starting with a clear picture in mind of what they wanted. Gratitude and giving are also large parts of the success stories they relate. The authors offer exercises in visualization to help readers develop a strong picture of prosperity based on their values and desires as well as how to set a time frame for realizing their dreams. Rogin and Kueng also offer clear advice on savings and investment plans to help readers reach their ideals of prosperity.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
