“Money Anxiety” Named Must-Read Book in Personal Finance

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - June 25, 2015 - PRLog -- The behavioral finance book, Money Anxiety, was featured in the latest list of must-read short books if you want to get rich.  The Money Anxiety book (http://moneyanxiety.com/book.html) by Dan Geller, Ph.D. was characterized, among others, as “brilliant personal finance books” by Business Insider’s (http://www.businessinsider.com/short-books-about-money-2015-6?op=1) personal finance reporter Kathleen Elkins.

Elkins’ review of Money Anxiety points to new research in behavioral finance showing how our financial anxiety impacts our financial decisions to save or spend money.  “High anxiety causes us to save more and spend less, while low money anxiety results in us saving less and spending more” writes Elkins.

The book review also reveals a new matrix of classifying various types of financial behavior.  "Money Anxiety introduces a new concept, "behavioralogy," which groups consumer financial behavior into six distinct behavioral patterns to focus on illuminating the psychology behind our decisions to save and spend.”

“Everyone wants to get rich” says Dr. Dan Geller author of the Money Anxiety, “but how many take the time to understand how to get there?”  The good news, according to Elkins, is that “There are several concise books loaded with valuable information about accumulating wealth that you could start and finish in an afternoon.”

The Money Anxiety book is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, iTunes store and all major online booksellers worldwide.  The book is available in paperback and eBook formats and published by First Edition Design Publishing (http://www.firsteditiondesignpublishing.com/).
