The Little Book of Trust and Money

Stop money problems from destroying your family with 5 proven trust principles that prevent conflicts, repair financial damage, and keep relationships strong across generations.

Money fights now destroy more marriages than any other issue—and they're tearing families apart at every income level. When trust and money disconnect, relationships fracture, inheritances become battlegrounds, and families who should thrive together fall apart instead.

This book gives families the critical tools they need to navigate money turbulence with confidence — in a clear, fast, highly readable format designed for immediate application. Two leading experts—trust authority Charles Feltman and family dynamics coach Emily Bouchard—reveal 5 essential principles that prevent money from destroying family bonds:

• Learn how transparency prevents hidden resentments
• Why fairness must balance equity with belonging
• How reliability strengthens commitments
• Why shared stories provide meaning to wealth
• How to repair trust when money damages occur

With research-backed strategies and real-world examples, readers will discover how to acquire, manage, use, and pass on money without sacrificing the relationships that matter most.

Whether dealing with income imbalances, succession planning, inheritance conflicts, or everyday financial decisions, this portable 5-factor framework applies to any money-related scenario families face.Charles Feltman has been an executive and team coach for three decades.
