Master Your Money Type

Geoffrey Wade is an inviting narrator--warm and understanding but firm and quick enough for the serious audio student. The author, a veteran money advisor and media host, covers the usual array of financial topics, but he tailors his recommendations to each of six money management personalities. Strivers, Ostriches, Debt Desperadoes, Coasters, High Rollers, and Squirrels each have patterns of dealing with money that are influenced by emotional style and family experiences. With vivid analysis and examples, he shows how to keep one's emotional style from causing destructive or inadequate money management patterns. One of the broadest, most psychologically savvy audio programs on money, this is a welcome change from the one-size-fits-all approach most financial writers offer. T.W.
