Mind Over Money: Overcoming the Money Disorders That Threaten Our Financial Health

I'm halfway reading this book..and there was quite a few aha moments, I can't wait to finish it. I'm still trying to get over the subconscious programming that I have towards money... It's a wonderful book!

I read alot of personal finance books - although I no longer have debt, I often feel as though I do not look at money the correct way, which is why this book drew me to it. It is unlike any other book o the subjec that I have ever read. Mind over Money actually looks at the "basic" root of our issues with me - sure we all know that the $5.00 latte is not good for our budget, but WHY do we even want that $5.00 latte is what I want to know about. Mind Over Money actually calls our view of money (or or disordered view of money) as a disorder - and they put forward some very convincing and (true for me) views of why and how we see money the way we do. While they state the problems - they also state some great ways of dealing with the issues and I, for one, am a convert. This is not a finance book that will explain to you how to use the lint from your dryer to create a parachute!!!! but rather take a serious and very honest look at what our brain on money actually looks like. Loved it.

For the curiously-minded who want to understand the root of your behaviors, this is the book that explains so much. Considering money literally touches everything in our lives, it helped me to understand so much more about myself than just my "number" I carry around in my head that I think I need to feel safe and secure for the long-term. It helped me recognize family money scripts, what happened when my family moved out of their parents' "financial comfort zone", and why I struggle to let my own entrepreneurial spirit loose. Highly recommend.

Mind Over Money is a refreshing breath of fresh air in the world of books about money and self-improvement. For the first time, I feel like a book has helped me understand the ROOT CAUSES of my issues with money. I already feel like this book has helped both my business and my marriage (which has business aspects to it), and will continue to going forward. I liked these guys' last book, but this one was better.
