The Book
Pam Klainer is currently working on a new book about legacy. For an audio introduction, please Click here.
Klainer's first book "How Much is Enough? Harness the Power of Your Money Story - and Change Your Life" (Basic Books) was released in January 2002.
The book arose from Klainer's consulting experience with successful entrepreneurs and corporate executives working with her on business issues such as turnaround or rapid growth. Early in the consultation, many of her clients would say something like, "I'm making really good money and am widely recognized for my professional success. Why don't I feel better? Is this all there is?"
Money is a tangible marker for what we really value and really do; not what we think we value or would like to do. When we recognize the truth of who we are and how we actually make decisions about money and success, we gain much greater power to become the kind of individuals that we really want to be and leaders of organizations in which the best people really want to work.
Who should read How Much is Enough?
- Individuals struggling with their own "money + success = happiness" equation.
- Members of family systems living with the unintended consequences of wealth.
- People who give money, raise money, allocate money.
- Entrepreneurs and corporate leaders who need to keep a laser-like focus on what their venture is really about.
- Faith communities seeking to integrate money, professional success, and God.
