Next week, Brent Kessel will be in Los Angeles reading from his new book, It’s Not About the Money: Unlocking Your Money Type to Achieve Spiritual and Financial Abundance.

Kessel, a wealth manager, has taken his financial wisdom, his interest in yoga and meditation and written a book to help people improve their relationship with money while offering up solutions to solve personal finance problems.

Money, he writes, is an easy target when we’re looking for the cause of discontent in our lives, and over the years he’s noticed certain behavior patterns – thus the money types – or eight archetypes of how people relate to and spend (or save) their money.

He covers everything from socially responsible investing, pearls of wisdom about money from people like Ram Dass and Thich Nhat Hanh as well exercises to change the way we feel about the old mighty buck.

On Thursday, April 3rd, he’ll be at Barnes and Noble in Santa Monica and on Friday April 4th, he’ll be at Yoga Works in Santa Monica.
