Hi,
I have the 2nd edition of YMOYL and I am thinking of gifting it to a friend and getting the new edition for myself. I have had the book for about 10 years and read it often but truthfully I've never done the actual 9 steps.

I'm wondering if the Workbook would be helpful to actually do the work for each step.

I would love to hear honest feedback from those of you who have actually used the workbook and audio in addition to reading the book.

Thanks.

I've used the study-guide workbook while leading a study group. The participants generally found it useful, with the specific questions to answer and the reinforcement from a slightly different expression of key ideas.

Thank you Joseph!!!

I just ordered the packet and am looking forward to beginning the 9 steps. I hope to begin a small group. But even if it's just me I want to do the work this time.

DH and I did the steps in the online group setting which is offered periodically through the Simple Living Network. We found it most helpful; we doubt we ever would have done it on our own.

annq, thanks! this is basically a free copy of YMOYL plus the study guide. - did you intend to put this out there? If so, perhaps we should post it more prominently in its own thread.

Can someone let me know how often they do this on SL as a group? I would be very interested in participating and I know I need support. I am great with money 99% of the time, it is that 1% that just kills me!

We want this information out there. Please, use it! It's on a creative commons license which means it's totally free of charge and anyone can take it and use it, you just have to credit the author - the New Road Map Foundation.

I did post when the site first went live. I hear a new version of simpleliving.net is in the works that will tie in a bit more with financialintegrity.org. But hey, if anyone wants to publicize for us by posting a thread I'm totally down with that.

Along those lines, surfingbodi, are you referring to the online study groups? Those are on a temporary hiatus, unfortunately, but they will be back and it sounds like they'll probably be keyed to the study guide I posted. You can look for groups in your area here:

and here:
http://www.financialintegrity.org/index.php?title=Discussion_Groups
If you decide to create your own group, please list it!
