The root of Scrooge’s miserly existence was an unhealthy belief system about money. In spite of his wealth, Scrooge’s beliefs about money—created, nurtured and anchored in his long-forgotten past—kept him poor in spirit. His loyal employee, Bob Cratchit, also had some unhealthy beliefs about money that contributed to his poverty. Like Scrooge and Cratchit, who represent two extremes, many people are trapped by money beliefs they are unaware of. They irrationally continue destructive behaviors, unable to break free and recognize how they are sabotaging their own goals and dreams.
This classic tale of how one man finds his true course in life provides a powerful model that we can still learn from today. Not only was Dickens a master storyteller, he had insights into human behavior—and how to change it—that were far ahead of his time. To help Scrooge on his journey from misery to enlightenment, the spirits skillfully use techniques that are employed by modern psychologists and financial planners.
As the story of A Christmas Carol unfolds, Scrooge learns five principles that lead to financial wisdom. In this book we share this wisdom. We have seen it transform careers, families and lives. Don’t think that these principles work only for the wealthy. You will soon come to understand that the amount of money you have or make is irrelevant. It’s not about the money. It’s the relationship you have with money that is the key.
By applying these principles to your life, you can move from denial to awareness, from destructive behaviors to productive behaviors, from misery to joy. You can become a new person.
Scrooge Changed ….and so can you!
One of the most profound truths in this book is that as long as there is life, it is possible to change. It is never too late. The peace and joy that Scrooge finds is possible for all of us.
The answer that you—and millions like you—are seeking can be found in The Financial Wisdom of Ebenezer Scrooge.
