It is a very interesting discussion about MONEY. Most of us are preoccupied with money in the best of times, but now we’re under what I call the “crush of financial stress”.

Financial stress is especially insidious because money is a proxy for staying alive and so chronic worry about money triggers our survival fight or fight response. Something that puts us at risk for physical breakdown and psychological misery. Recent studies leave no doubt that stress hormones contribute to heart disease, cancer and diabetes and trigger anxiety and depression as well.

Jacob Needleman explains how our views about money tell us a great deal about ourselves. And how on the one hand we think about money too much, but on the other hand, we don’t think about money enough–in ways that really matter.

Too often we fail to recognize the role that money needs to play in securing the things that really make life worth living. Things we’ll never find at the mall.
