It is more than a book packed with advice about how to spend smarter - always welcomed - but it delves into the psychological and cultural aspects related to our individual relationship with money and what actually money means to us.
Based on various psychological and marketing studies, the book is a valuable resource for anyone struggling to have a better financial planning, taking into account the actual needs and benefits. It teaches you how to do smart financial projections, avoid overspending and decisions based on the current financial context and personal situation. A good chapter to read is the one dealing with how to deal with debt, as it offers various strategies and advice for diminishing or avoiding such unpleasant situations. Each chapter has a long extra list of recommended read and podcasts that will help the reader to get more tips for a healthier financial life.
This instructive guide teaches simple yet effective money management strategies through 20 science-based lessons that boost financial health while reducing stress. 5 of 5 stars

Great advice for those of us that struggle with financial decisions and planning. The advice was easy to follow. Highly recommend!
There is good information in her but I could not relate to how it was presented. As well the imagery/illustrations bothered me. It seems the work in this series, I have a hard time continuing to read.
A simple and practical book on personal finance and one that every reader would enjoy.
Thank you Netgalley for the eARC, personally, I enjoyed the insight on friction and how when spending money's made easy say by electronic transactions, then it becomes difficult to keep track of finances.
This is one of the simplest and most useful book I have read on personal finance. The author sticks to the most pertinent topics, and provides just enough details so that readers can decide what actions they should take. In addition the graphics provide a handy way to review key takeaways.
The gifted high schoolers that I teach would benefit greatly from this book. They are hungry for real-world knowledge, which this book explains in a very readable way. It goes beyond the basics to consider additional factors, such as the impacts of a longer commute after buying a house further away from work, and how things like fines and fees influence our behavior. Even though I already knew some of what was in this book, I enjoyed reading it, especially the studies of behavior!
This is an informative guide on how to boost your own financial health. it is full of simple and easy to follow directions and is perfect for people who are starting from scratch in terms of taking control of their finances and those with a bit of knowledge.
