Krueger, an executive mentor coach and psychotherapist, seeks to help readers alter the way they think and relate to money in this practical, challenging book. Krueger states that everyone has a personal narrative about themselves and the world, one of which they are largely unaware and which guides all of their decisions, including financial ones. Krueger shows how to recognize one’s money narrative through a system developed in his practice, ROADMAP (recognize authorship of one’s money story, own the story, assess it, decide what to change, map those changes, author new experiences, program a new identity). He puts forth a list of common money fallacies and offers corrective actions to redirect thinking and behaviors, encouraging evaluation and management of existing beliefs. Krueger also stresses the importance of framing, focus, and clarification to the process, and identifies principles to keep in mind while making changes, such as “small changes lead to big changes.” He concludes with an abundance of valuable advice, such as on “14 ways to outsmart your brain to spend less.” Readers will find much here of value, but success will require fortitude, persistence, and time.

In his earlier book, The Secret Language of Money, David Krueger powerfully and successfully explained the psychological, emotional and personal impacts of money on us. Understanding these dimensions of money makes us more able to understand this powerful social trigger, but more importantly, understand how and why it affects us so much. Now David has taken this powerful and insightful analysis to a new level, with his new book A NEW MONEY STORY: The Beliefs, Behaviors, and Brain Science to Rewire for Wealth. Not only does he explain how the brain works, but more importantly, discusses what you can do about it for your own personal benefit. This is an important contribution to an understanding of the trigger of money that drives most of Western Society. Highly recommended for anyone attempting to create a wealth-based life-journey.
Learning what my own money story was and how to rewrite it with David as my guide and mentor has completely changed my life for the better. Instead of money controlling me and the decisions I was making, I am now in charge of my future with money as the tool to help me achieve my goals. I am honoured and proud to be a Certified New Money Story® Coach here in New Zealand, I am now able to share my experiences and David’s teachings in this new book with my own clients and help them transform their money stories as well.
After a lifetime of sabotaging my finances, I swallowed my pride and worked through the ROADMAP process and effortlessly overcame my resistance to change. I doubled my income and halved my working hours, creating financial sustainability, working from home, by developing a world class trader psychology program with the ROADMAP client workbook at its heart. I used my new understanding to empower traders of all financial markets to outsmart their own brains and behaviours, reduce stress and develop confident trading skills for consistent trading results. Thank you, David, for sharing your life transforming professional knowledge.
Numerous behaviors, convictions, and values result from our lifetime accumulation of emotional experiences that script our present responses. Dr. David Krueger illustrates the implicit basis of beliefs, meanings, and values we hold about money, and offers steps to understand them, along with principles for applying neuroscience to inform investment decisions. He clearly demonstrates how our relationship with money, rather than our income, assets, expenses, or debt, becomes the money story to which we ascribe great meaning and emotional value.
One of my most challenging roles as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® Professional is helping and mentoring clients to change the money behaviours that don’t serve them. For many clients, it is an elusive concept and a daunting journey to undertake. This book holds the key to unlocking those deep-rooted money stories and takes you on a step by step process of understanding and owning your money story, taking accountability and ultimately changing that story. David Krueger inspires you to believe that it is possible to change the outcome of your life by changing your attitude and behaviour towards money; that it is possible to change the money habits that no longer serve you into thoughts and actions where money is viewed as an enabler to living the life you really want to live.
This epic book will help you shatter your limiting beliefs and programming around money and will walk you step by step through a powerful life changing process that will help you achieve financial and life abundance. A must-read book for anyone who want more money and the good life!
"Dr. David Krueger offers a brilliant, deeply researched and practical approach to changing your money mindset. If you want to change your financial destiny and grow your wealth while still honoring your personal power, this book is a must-read."
Your New Money Story by David Krueger, M.D speaks directly to a major pitfall of many in my profession, trading and investing. A stumbling block in investing is not entering a trade, but knowing when to exit one. What prevents many from making good decisions? Their own psychology about money-or in other words, fear, greed and hope. Dr. Krueger's Your New Money Story is a must read for anyone in the world of finance. Without understanding one's own money state-of-mind, one can never really achieve great financial success.
In Your New Money Story, David Krueger merges two seemingly incongruous concepts——personal narrative and money. And, to the reader’s delight, he does so with a combination of science, engaging anecdotes and plenty of wit. While not a typical “how-to” book, Your New Money Story gives the reader a conceptual framework for creating wealth and shedding those stories that hold us back. After reading Krueger’s book, I couldn’t wait to put my own new money story to work!
