“Myths About Money in Popular Psychology” — a lecture by psychologist Nastasya Solomina

Money. On one hand, it’s a taboo topic: speaking about it often causes shame or fear. On the other hand, many experts are eager to tell the impressionable listener how to unlock financial flows, think the “right” thoughts to attract money, and in every possible way draw wealth to themselves.

At the meeting “Finance Without Esotericism” we’ll talk about money without magical thinking, shame, or fear.

• What myths in popular psychology obstruct real financial development

• What useful insights behavioral psychology can offer for solving financial tasks. We’ll explore issues like: inability to save, fear of uncertainty, inability to break through a financial ceiling

• We’ll check which skills comprise financial literacy — and which are especially relevant to develop now

There will be practical exercises and the opportunity to ask questions on the topic at the end of the lecture.
