The Man Who Quit Money by Mark Sundeen

MAA, August 2, 2012

Read this book - it is that good - I'm recommending it to family & friends. The subject: our relationship to $. The object: to educate us, inform us, engage us. The result: I'm encouraged to find those with the courage to take our spiritual guides seriously, who follow them by emulating them. Let go of our death-grip attachment to the abstraction of $ that makes many of us its slaves and becomes a god. Relatively short, to-the-point, portrait by a good writer - the absence of which I have noted elsewhere. Too many books today are far too long, need editing & pruning, and lose me about 100 pages in. Not this one. Again, read this book!
