Financial stewardship is a scary beast for most. Many trust others to care for their investments, while others don’t even bother keeping tabs on how much they have or where it goes. There’s a large spectrum between the don’t care and the passive investor. And in between lies a lot of uncertainty. Thankfully, there are folks, like the author Jonathan K. DeYoe, who believe strongly that finances can be thoughtfully managed by even the most novice, and he shows how in his latest book.

There’s a lot of helpful strategies here, including a primer that simplifies the investment landscape. The thought-provoking questions presented at the end of each chapter unearth personal insight required to draft a plan forward. But Mindful Investing isn’t just another success or financial how-to book. Rather, it’s targeted to quell challenges—emotions, anxiety, indecision—which are all elements standing in the way of thoughtful money management.

The author incorporates his training as a Lutheran seminarian, turned Buddhist academic and years of experience as a Wall Street Investment Manager and Financial Advisor. This rare combination makes him the perfect guide for transitioning your relationship with money into one that is both healthy and fruitful.

“As an advisor I help people manage their emotional responses to markets. As an author, I attempt to do the same by teaching a simple method of investing that doesn’t require a lot of decision and doesn’t take a lot of time…while providing a similar long-term return.” ~ Jonathan K. DeYoe
