The process of discovering who you are in relation to investments is different for everybody. We all start at different places based on our genetic makeup, our childhood, and our good or bad fortune, we move through
different experiences in life, and arrive at different places. This book does not claim that this simple three-step program is the only process of achieving emotional compatibility with your investments. These three steps are helpful for most people and have certainly been helpful for me.

If you have severe money dysfunction, realize that you are not likely to accept that immediately. One of the prevailing characteristics of all addiction is that the addict does not believe he or she has a problem. Everyone around him, except coaddicts, believes he has problems, but the addict himself considers his behavior normal. If you work through the exercises in this book, yet you still have a sense of impending doom around your investments, get further help. The answer is out there for you; it is just beyond the scope of this book.
