Inner Security and Infinite Wealth: Merging Self Worth and Net Worth

Inner Security and Infinite Wealth is an innovative approach to creating inner security, freedom from worry, and a more fulfilling relationship with money. The approach evolved as a result of conversations between the authors. Zimmerman, in search of security beyond the securities industry, had just stepped away from a multi-million dollar money management firm while Rosen, a visionary thinker, had dedicated his life's work to creating a world in which love is the highest standard. Joined by a mutual dream of a world where love, compassion and money flow together seamlessly, the authors created the book for people who want to redefine their relationship with money, discover security beyond financial security, and achieve riches beyond material wealth.While the authors maintain that money is not the key to happiness, they reveal simple financial concepts can provide a profound means of self-discovery. Cleverly utilizing financial terms such as allowance, will, inheritance, ownership, value, trust, investments, appreciation and exchange, the book provides an enlightening strategy for discovering wealth from theinside out.

Written by two men transformed by the events of September 11, this book is intended to offer bored, stuck-in-a-rut readers a path to a more rewarding existence. Instead of focusing on the outward trappings of wealth (such as a higher salary, profits from trading stocks or a better job), the authors say, people should become more aware of what they want out of life and what legacy they want to leave behind. Zimmerman and Rosen, who run the consulting firm Inner Securities Inc., write in simple sentences, using a bold typeface for emphasis, to deliver their message. They ask, "Why has money been the basis of so much pain and conflict? One answer to this question is because people feel betrayed. Betrayed by money. Betrayed by a belief.... Or a lack of something to believe in." They then describe how money has been contaminated by greed, jealousy and other forms of abuse. The bottom line: people should strive for inner security, which is far more rewarding than outer wealth. Similar, obvious theses are stated for writing a will (it should transcend the traditional document to become a promise to "live a life of Inner Security. To create Heaven on Earth during my lifetime. To leave a blueprint for its sustainability for all who survive me"). Undoubtedly, many people did change both their professional and personal priorities after September 11. However, this book offers few original insights, and its advice can be found in countless other self-help books written both before and after recent acts of terrorism.
