In Busting Loose From the Money Game, Bob Scheinfeld debunks many commonly held belief systems about money and shares a viewpoint and a process that will permanently shift your perspective and ultimately, your life. The basic premise of this book is that our minds create our reality, including our financial reality. He equates our life experience to the Human Game, which he divides into two phases:
Phase 1: where most of us land, appears to us to have rigid rules and was created by our Expanded Self purposefully in order to set the game in motion by imposing limitations and powerlessness. In Phase 1, we feel uncomfortable, unsatisfied, and unfulfilled most of the time. We believe (falsely) that this is the way life is. We create blocks and resistance to achieving our goals—in effect, we create a game whose outcome is uncertain for as long as possible, because our enjoyment of the game decreases when winning takes place too easily.
Enter Phase 2. In Phase 2, our Expanded Self takes us through the process of reclaiming our power and then freeing ourselves or “busting loose” of the game. In this phase, we recognize the illusory aspects of reality and as such, are free to break the rules and find the path that will lead us seamlessly and effortlessly to our goals. The Process that Bob shares, which involves being grateful and taking inspired action in each moment, when followed, is a surefire way to achieve an unlimited supply of money and freedom, albeit using metaphysical tactics rather than tangible ones. I recommend this book for anyone looking to “bust loose” from their own game, but only for those who are willing to consider the game analogy and are open to receiving what Scheinfeld’s approach has to offer.
