Praise for Money, Love & Legacy

How little we understand about money and love and how they work together but all too often against each other. Helga Hayse helps us understand much that we ought to know on that score. She writes from the heart and she puts lucidly into prose good, sound and wise advice about the ways for us to begin needed conversations across the generation chasm and the divide that follows all too often from pain, hurt and misunderstandings. She wants, in the best sense, to help others and her book can indeed do just that.

"A common sense approach to rethinking personal relationships in the light of not-so-intuitively obvious cognitive science discoveries. Makes you question many of your most cherished beliefs about yourself and others."

– Author of On Being Certain: Believing That You Are Right Even When You're Not

"None of us knows when our time is up. We might live beyond 100 years or die with the next heartbeat. As a former ER physician, I've seen families arrive too late for the conversations presented in this book. In my current role as chaplain for spiritual care, I attend people during their last days of life. I've seen the peace that comes to families who can have the conversations included in this book. Helga Hayse provides a gentle and clear guide to the territory most of us avoid – the conversations of the heart. Physicians, nurses, social workers and anyone who guides families towards open, (loving) and clear communication can gain tremendously from reading this book."

– The Jewish Chaplaincy at Stanford University Medical Center

"A pathway, guide and instruction book for dealing with two taboo subjects – money and death. Helga shows how families can avoid misunderstandings about these two issues. This book should be mandatory reading for every parent and adult child. It will bring clarity and closure, while teaching all how to manage and deal with money, love and legacy."

Your book is having quite an impact!  We've all read it, my son in LA recommended it to a lawyer in family practice. I had my first meeting with my youngest son & it went exceedingly well - better than I could imagine.  You have opened many doors - thank you!
