When Dave Krueger first started submitting his “Your Story” columns to Networking Times, I was intrigued. We connected over a few editorial questions (mostly me writing him and telling him how much I was loving editing his stuff), and got to know each other. Turned out, he was working on this really cool idea for a really fascinating book.
You’ve probably already guessed the rest.
Fast forward: August 6, 2008, we sign a contract with McGraw-Hill. Two days later I meet Dave for the first time in my life, in person, face to face: at my amazing wedding. Never has champagne been better timed.
At that same wedding, Dave also met two other people for the first time: Donna DeGutis, my intrepid agent (of the Margret McBride Literary Agency), who midwifed the deal from start to finish; and Dan Clements, my great friend, one-time screenwriting classmate, and now writing partner. Dan and I worked together on the book, and although I get cover credit and he gets only an “Acknowledgments” credit, he contributed a lot and I honestly don’t think the book would’ve happened without his participation.
It was one heckuva wedding — and now, a year later, the book is written, edited, designed, printed, and ready for your enjoyment.
When you read it, imagine you can hear the clink of the champagne glasses!
“A fascinating exploration into how we think about money and why—and perhaps even more importantly, what we can do about it. I strongly recommend it.”
— David Bach, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Start Late, Finish Rich and Fight For Your Money
“Now more than ever, we need someone to help us make sense out of money and the crazy things we do with it. David Krueger is that voice of sanity.”
— John Assaraf, CEO of OneCoach and coauthor of the New York Times bestseller The Secret
“Our relationship with money is like an iceberg: only the very tip is in plain sight. The how, what and why—in other words, the vast majority of it, including the part that determines our wealth—is below the surface of our unconscious. The authors do a masterful job of uncovering this information and helping us fix that relationship. Don’t be surprised if the result shows up in your bottom line.”
— Bob Burg, coauthor of the international bestseller The Go-Giver
“This is not a how-to of personal finance, it’s a how much: how much has your personal money story been holding you back? And how much could you earn if you changed that?”
— Chris Widener, author of the New York Times bestseller The Angel Inside
“For every thousand books written on personal finance and success, there is always that one gem that can truly make a difference in people’s lives. This is that book—and it’s a must-read!”
— Cameron Johnson, television personality and author of You Call the Shots
“I have been writing about behavioral finance for years and have read a ton of books and papers on the topic. Although several do a fine job of explaining the concepts, your book is the first I’ve seen that offers effective, practical solutions for readers to overcome the problems caused by brain physiology and psychology.”
— Ric Edelman, #1 New York Times bestselling author (The Truth About Money, The New Rules of Money) and host of ABC Radio’s The Ric Edelman Show
