Through his many acclaimed books Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski MD has been our mentor and faithful friend, helping us navigate the complexities of modern life. Now he brings the wisdom of Torah and his own vast experience as both a Rabbi and a psychiatrist to help us deal with the new financial realities that many of us are facing today.

What does a person do when he loses his job after years of faithful service? How do we deal with shattered retirement funds - and broken dreams? Rabbi Dr. Twerski shows us practical strategies to keep our marriages, our families, and our own sense of self worth intact, despite today's economic woes.

We cannot control a stock market on a rollercoaster ride or a pension plan that's simply vanished, but we can control how we react. We can listen to the financial news and hear a death knell -- or a wakeup call. We can wallow in blame and despair, or harness the incredible power of prayer and kindness to others.

Yes, times are tough, but Rabbi Twerski assures us that the sun will shine again -- and he shows us how to keep ourselves calm and smiling until it does.
