I have been collecting some articles on psychology and wealth from a variety of journals I receive, and recently there was a group of articles published in the Monitor of Psychology which is published by the American Psychological Association. I thought I would briefly share some of the information reported. One article in the January 2009 Monitor entitled “Mind over
Part of life is the fact that “bad things happen” – a car accident, serious physical problems, death of a family member, loss of a job, — all kinds of events are possible. Recently, I have had a number of family members and friends struggle with serious physical problems: brain tumors, breast cancer, back problems, vertigo, depression, kidney malfunctions. (I
This is the time of year when families gather together – college students are on break, young adults return home to visit, and the extended family celebrates Christmas and New Year’s together.* So it is also the time when parents who have been successful in business turn their focus to their family.

And as I started dealing with home-related (e.g. lawn) and family matters, as well as getting caught up on some minor office work and then looking ahead to the beginning
August in the Midwest is usually the “dog days of summer” — hot, intense sun, and humid. It is uncomfortable and physically draining. But we have had some unusual weather this past week — cool and rainy.
