Finance expert Doug Lynam offers a groundbreaking exploration of our complex relationship with money, budgeting, and finances through the transformative lens of the Enneagram. Confront financial fears, engage with money habits and behaviors, and develop a personal understanding of how the mind and personality affect money decisions. With compassion, wisdom, and humor, Lynam will guide readers on a journey to financial health and personal growth.

Drawing from his diverse experiences as a marine, monk, and money manager, Lynam introduces readers to our "money monsters", which correspond to our Enneagram type and attachment style to money. These archetypes represent our deepest financial fears and self-sabotaging behaviors.

But Lynam doesn't just identify our financial foibles—he provides a clear, actionable path to overcome them. With sharp wit and profound understanding, he shows you how to:

  • recognize and understand your money monster's origins in your childhood experiences;
  • identify and understand your "ego addictions" and their impact on your financial decisions;
  • transform your financial vices into virtues, creating a foundation for lasting abundance;
  • discover your unique "sacred gift" and how to use it to build wealth and create positive change in the world; and
  • adjust how you earn, save, and invest to become a money master.

 

Taming Your Money Monster isn't just about improving your bank balance—it's about healing your relationship with money on a deep, spiritual level. Lynam's approach acknowledges that true financial mastery comes from aligning your monetary practices with your deepest values and authentic self.

This is more than a financial advice book—it's a compassionate guide to personal growth, spiritual enlightenment, and financial freedom. Because when we heal our relationship with money, we heal our relationship with ourselves.

Doug Lynam graduated at the top of his class from Marine Corps Officer Candidate School in 1995, then turned down his commission to become a Benedictine monk. During his 20-year monastic journey, he headed the mathematics department at a prestigious private school while helping his community recover from bankruptcy. After leaving the monastery in 2017, he joined LongView Asset Management in Santa Fe, New Mexico—a sustainability-focused B Corp—where he helped manage over a quarter-billion in assets. A sought-after authority on conscious wealth creation, Doug is the author of From Monk to Money Manager and Taming Your Money Monster: Nine Paths to Money Mastery with the Enneagram.
