We live in a society driven by financial excesses. Total consumer debt in the United States exceeds $1.7 trillion, and the number of individuals seeking protection from creditors through personal bankruptcy is growing at an alarming rate. "Despite the worrisome financial dynamics of our complex society, tools now exist to help reverse-or altogether avoid-the downward cycle of debt, daily financial stress, and frustration," says veteran business executive Steven B.
