		<description>I&#039;m not a &quot;new agey&quot; guy either. In my life, I&#039;ve made a lot of money, invested in the market (and lost a lot), and done the other things that you indicate as the &quot;simple&quot; financial process. 

However, I always seemed to have &quot;issues&quot; around money. What Sotkin&#039;s book led me to was the relationship with money engrained by my parents who were depression children. No matter how much I had, how much I saved or invested that would mean comfort for the average person, I was always filled with angst when it came to dealing with money. 

I needed to change my relationship, not with financial procedures that are part of every program, but a more fundamental, psychological relationship with money that I was totally unaware of but subconsciously knew existed. Sotkin&#039;s book BUILD YOUR MONEY MUSCLES helped me discover that barrier that had created discomfort with money and affected my attitude and handling of it throughout my life.

I&#039;m happy that you have never had to deal with these issues. You must have received good modeling when younger, but many, even most haven&#039;t. I recommend Sotkin&#039;s book to anyone that doesn&#039;t feel completely comfortable in the world of money and finances. They may discover why money is such an issue for so many. 

I would also recommend it to those who handle other people&#039;s money to help them understand the angst they experience from clients. That mysterious relationship discovered in Sotkin&#039;s book is probably the reason it has such a high rating on Amazon.</description>
