About Your Money or Your Life Book
In times like these, it’s more important than ever to know the difference between making a living and making a living. Your Money or Your Life is even more relevant today than when the book first hit the stands, and a great publicity campaign will bring this already strong-selling book to a whole new audience.
This book is very challenging because it actively challenges the reader to change her entire life. It’s not the typical finance book that gives tips and tricks, and you can pick among them for those that are easy to work into your life (you know the drill: “cancel cable? done! what kind of wastrel pays for cable? move somewhere cheaper? let’s not get too crazy, I love this neighborhood…”). This book tells you to track what you’re spending, not to find easy things to cut out, but to ask yourself, about every purchase: was this worth what I paid for it, in terms of the life energy* it takes me to earn that amount of money? Is this purchase aligned with my values? What is the effect of this purchase upon the environment/Earth? And even as I tell myself Of course! This is how you’re supposed to live your life! I’m intimidated by the effort required and, full disclosure, afraid of what I might learn about myself if I do it.
I’m not sure I can implement this system in my life. Still, I have an extreme suspicion that this is a book I’ll return to in five years, decide to enforce it finally, and then five years after that, hate my[ current ]self for not implementing it the first time I read it.
