My rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💰🦣

My thoughts:📱25% 2:04:38 Chapter 5: Your Tribe - This is so good! I'm going to have to reread this. I'm devastated I didn't read it sooner.
📱33% 2:44:51 Chapter 6: Your Instincts - This book is brilliant. The psychology behind these events is astounding.
📱57% 4:48:09 Chapter 10: Your Financial Behaviors - This is the sweet spot of I'm not alert enough to absorb efficiently so I'm taking a break.

This book is great, it is going on the revisit annually list. I highly recommend it. This book doesn't give much financial advice as its goal is to find out your money personality, money scripts, and culture then use the information to meet your financial goals.

Recommend to others: Yes! This is a great start to analyze yourself and your family and decide why you do what you do and if you want to change.

Get a better understanding of your behavioral money mindset.

This book not only give practical understanding of different financial tools but also give you better understanding of the behavior side of money as well.

If you are looking for a book that brakes personal finance down to its core. This is the book for you!
