Uncertainty creates anxiety, and we are engaged in a modern collective anxiety known as “money anxiety disorder.” Money anxiety disorder lies at the heart of so many of the disruptions that occur in our lives, our society, and our world. It can be triggered by events like fluctuations in the marketplace, job loss, employment instability, divorce, or even just struggling to stay on budget. Like the economy itself, our anxiety about money fluctuates. But we don’t have to be at the mercy of it. In The Money Anxiety Cure we can learn to cope with unpredictable financial times and silence our panic.

As a first generation Iranian, Koorosh Ostowari saw his single mother overcome great financial and cultural obstacles to provide her family with the American Dream. Following in her footsteps, Koorosh retired early from a successful 25-year career in real estate, then successfully bridged the gap between spiritual and material worlds by becoming trained as a Spirit Rock Meditation Center Dharma Leader and certified somatic therapist.

Koorosh was recently honored with the 2015 Certificate of Special Recognition by the U.S. Congress, and a Certificate of Recognition by the California State Legislature in part for his public service work within the Northern California prison system, as well as for his work with the public sector, helping clients and students cultivate mindfulness, alleviate anxiety and achieve work/life balance and financial wellbeing.

Koorosh offers Mindfulness & Money courses throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, offering tools to help clients learn how to integrate their spiritual and material lives, in order to attain prosperity in both.
