Former benedictine monk Doug lynam wants you to know he hates talking about money. But the Cold, hard truth of modern life is that everyone needs it-no one can live without it, and we certainly can’t escape dealing with it. So he figured out how to deal with it in a healthy way. From monk to money manager is an entertaining and self-deprecating journey through lynam’s relationship with the almighty dollar-his childhood in a wealthy family, The long-haired hippie days running away from materialism, time in the marine Corps looking for selfless service, and his twenty years in the monastery under a vow of poverty that led to his current profession as a financial advisor. In this unique look at wealth from a spiritual perspective, lynam shares his belief that God doesn’t expect us to live in poverty. The truth is, we need to be a little bit wealthy-fiscal wise and financially strong so we can help others and make the world a better place. When money becomes a part of our spiritual practice, used in love and service, it brings us closer to God. With humor and humility, lynam uses stories told through the lens of his own money mistakes, and those of Counselling clients, to understand how our attitudes about money hold us back. His insights include how to build a compassionate relationship to our finances; some of the good, bad, and ugly truths about money; and the ten foundational rules for finding financial health.
