A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Dean Graziosi titled "Rethink Your Relationship with Money: Lewis Howes." Graziosi uses a therapist-on-the-couch metaphor to explore internal conflicts about money: people reject attachment to money for fear of greed or vanity while still desiring the positive byproducts money can enable (e.g., parenting, contribution, potential). The excerpt questions the logic of rejecting money yet wanting its benefits.

Chapters

Imagine if you and money, you're at a therapist. Your therapist is in the middle. Money is on one couch and you're on the other. And your conversation is, I don't want to need you. I don't want to be obsessed with you. I don't want to be greedy by having you. I don't want to feel like I'm being a big shot by having you. But I want to live into my full potential. I want to be a better parent. I want to contribute more to this cause that I have. You know, I heard somebody say once, people who say money doesn't solve problems means they haven't given enough away. Money's not happiness. It's like you haven't given enough away. Could you imagine a therapist say, wait a minute, you're saying you don't want. You want a breakup, you don't want to be connected, you don't want to have an association, but you want all the things that the money's byproducts bring.
