Money is one of society's great taboos, yet for most people it is one of life's most important considerations. Through a selection of interviews, this book explores people's attitudes to personal finance. A survey by American Express showed that money is the biggest cause of domestic strife, and that couples' decisions about money were much more heated and painful than about almost any other subject.

The Successful Self

Fishwick, Michael

Job Hunting & Careers

Fontana Harpercollins

From the moment of conception we are in the business of surviving. We come into the world expecting that we can have everything and seeing no reason why we should not have it. But we learn fast, learning that we can't always get what we want. The accompanying feelings of loss, frustration, anger, aggression, resentment and sadness can dominate the rest of our lives. This book is all about the frustration endemic in our experience of life. It is about the strategies we evolve to cope with that frustration and convince ourselves that we can, after all, have everything. One strategy might be unlimited greed for possessions and power, and absolute determination to achieve the required goal without heeding any impediment. Another strategy might be to assume responsibility for everything, to saddle oneself with guilt for the world. Then there is the strategy of martyrdom, of "having everything" by publicly denouncing one's needs for anything. This book shows how the reader can free themself from the pain of loss, mourning, resentment, envy and greed to learn to live in the present, enjoying what they have.

Breaking the Bonds

Now that life expectancy in the developed world is well over 70, fear of imminent death has receded and been replaced by a dread of growing old. While our definition of old is dependent on the age we have reached - in our 20s we fear turning 30, in our 50s we fear turning 60 and becoming an old-age pensioner - we all share a horror of becoming one of those forgetful, incapacitated, ludicrous figures our parents, aunts and uncles may have become. Dorothy Rowe has talked to people aged from five to 95 about how they view ageing, time and death. She has listened to people from societies where the old are revered and respected as well as people from societies like our own, where they are not. She finds that our fear of ageing far outweighs the real difficulties, most of which could be ameliorated if we were sensible. When we are not, we find that as we advance through life, the mistakes we made in our youth often return to haunt us. However, we can change and Dorothy Rowe offers us in this book a distillation of wisdom which provides support and hope and a new way of looking at the future.
