We;; written, this was a very insightful look at money and how smart investors can have more of it. More financial books should be like this one.

This book is not a typical personal finance book but it dives into the psychology of money and how our money mindset can hold us back. This book will help you explore the way your relationship with money can prevent you from building wealth. I appreciate the perspective of mindfulness with money.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the gifted copy.

This book was not helpful on a financial level at all. It felt more like personal musings than informational. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

“The Mindful Millionaire” is by Leisa Peterson, a successful money and mindset coach. Her mission is to help us do the real work behind our money problems and fears.

Like many of us, Leisa climbed the career ladder, only to find herself emotionally and spiritually bankrupt. She then shares how she found the strength to look deep into her “money story.” That’s when she found out what was blocking her from knowing true happiness.

In “The Mindful Millionaire,” Leisa meets us wherever we are in our money journey.

In particular, she teaches us how to:

--Understand where our money habits come from
--Break the cycle of fear, grief and shame around money
--Rewrite our money story
--Stop financial self-sabotage
--Change how we feel about money
--Gain true financial freedom and independence

This book might be too “woo woo” for some readers. It talks about connecting to love, to ourselves and to a divine source (of our choosing). We need these connections to get rid of our fears, shame and stories. After all, most of us have been carrying around our money story since we were as young as age 7.

Leisa says that we can all have financial freedom. That is, if we’re willing to take a hard look at our self-limiting beliefs. But it takes WORK. And a lot of therapeutic journaling, introspection and meditation.

I recommend buying “The Mindful Millionaire" if you plan to do the exercises and journaling prompts. Don't bother ordering it on the Kindle or Audible because it’s more of a workbook. Plus, if you own the book, you can refer to it as often as you’d like. Or give it as a gift to your kids or partner.

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s press for a gifted electronic copy in exchange for my honest review.

The Mindful Millionaire is a helpful personal finance book on adopting the mindset of millionaires. This includes prompts to help readers discover their own money experiences and patterns. It digs further into uncovering the reader's personal relationship to money, which makes it stand out from other money mindset books that are on the market right now.

"You are so much more than your money."

If you’re curious about your relationship with money and how it impacts your life (and future) – The Mindful Millionaire is a well written, in-depth book to help you understand and address your money story, money fears, and limiting beliefs.

It’s not a “quick and easy guide.” You need to commit to setting aside time to do what Leisa suggests if you want to make lasting change and see results.

But when you buy Leisa’s book, you’ll also have free access to additional tools, money stories, worksheets, resources, questions to ask advisors, and even meditations to help you through the process.

I particularly liked the use of examples of real life clients to emphasise the relevant teaching - it works really well and helps clarify the message. The chakra teaching was so useful - I’ve done a lot of work on this myself but not at this depth. Loved it.

Fantastic and user-friendly money advice! I am actually excited about beginning to plan my financial future again., and I'm 53 years old so that's quite a feat for the author to have accomplished. I love the personal stories that she has included; they make this book even more relatable.

I think the thing that makes this book unique among the mountain of financial books out there is the earnestness with which Leisa Peterson reaches out to the reader. It feels like she truly wants me to succeed. Her references to those inner conversations that we all have with ourselves where money is concerned gave me that unique "something" that I needed in order to make some mental connections and start making plans. Thank you, Leisa!

I have been on a journey into personal finance for the last year and a half and have read several books on money mindset and managing finances. While this book does have information on getting your personal finances in order, what I really like about it is that it really digs into the mindset and relationship you have with money by looking at your past, your feelings about money, the beliefs that your parents had about money and how that affects you. If you really want to change your relationship with money and are ready to do this work, I recommend getting this book and spending the time going through it and the IPROSPER process shared in its pages. This book is all about your money mindset and how making shifts in your mindset and taking action can lead to real changes. I received and advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for a review, but will definitely be going through this book again and using it as a tool and guide in my own personal finance and money mindset journey.

“You deserve a life you love.” (Grant Sabatier)

The author examines two money paths: pursuit of money and the expression of relationship.

Too many people are fooled into believing that the pursuit of money is the essential American dream. Chasing money leaves you overlooking the true meaning of life.

Money is so powerful that it can blind you to the realization that you have a choice about how you live your life.

Blending her personal experiences with the interaction with her clients’ experiences and feelings, the author observes that our attitudes about and use of money are a reflection of how we view ourselves.

Money is a tool and at its core is about trust between human beings.

Money is therefore, the ultimate form of connection.

“Money is a terrible master and a great tool to help you become the person you’ve always wanted to be.”

Not recommended for the superficial reader seeking the “Midas touch”. Definitely recommended for those seeking deeper insight into the proper use of money and the significance of life.

This book isn't what I expected, but I enjoyed it and it made me examine my personality and beliefs. Most of the financial books I've read (and I've read quite a bit as it's a topic I am passionate about). focus on practical advice, baby steps (big Dave Ramsey supporter over here!), ways to stay out of debt, and ways to save and stay frugal. This is one of few that focuses on uncovering the root of a person's problem with money, which will actually fix the problem permanently in my opinion. I like how this book explores why we have the relationship with money that we do, whether that's growing up in poverty, scarcity mindset, or shopping to fill a void. I found this book to be unique and I liked the concept of mindfulness throughout the book. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my digital copy in exchange for an honest review. I was approached by someone at the Publishing House for this one as it was a book that wasn't really on my radar yet. I had really enjoyed a book that they said was similar so I gave it a shot. And they were right, I also really enjoyed this one. I won't lie and say that the first part was able to keep my attention the whole time but once my brain engaged and kicked in, I started to really get into it. This was a whole other kind of book about personal finance as it also employed other aspects of life. The chakras became involved, who you were in the past as opposed to who you are today, and so much more. Sometimes books about finances can get very dry and your mind goes numb because it reads like a textbook. This one did not do that...at one point, it actually became very inspiring and I am ready to go conquer the World. :)

This is not a typical personal finance book. This book doesn’t explain aspects of personal finance and tell you what you should be doing with your money. Instead, it discusses why you have the relationship with money that you do. It shows you how to discover what caused the guilt, shame, or fear you have of money and how you can you overcome those feelings to have a successful relationship with your money. You can’t put a band-aid on a cut that needs stitches and with money, you can’t make good financial decisions without first treating the money problems. Being mindful affects your ability to create wealth. This book is not for people who want quick answers to their money questions and advice on investments or savings. This book is for people who want to learn more about themselves and how their beliefs can positively or negatively affect their relationship with money. It’s a unique and interesting book that helped me learn more about myself and my money.

This is a whole other type of personal finance book! I will be completely honest and say that I was super impatient with Part 1 "A New Language for Personal Finance" because I was super excited for Part 2 "The IPROSPER Process." I have read 10+ personal finance books in the last several years and this one is without a doubt unique. I do not think it will be the right book for everyone - few books are appealing to the masses. However, if you've found yourself in repeating patterns of stress, anxiety, overspending, avoiding or my favorite - arguing with your loved ones - about money, then this book is for you.

My favorite aspects of the book are definitely the prompts/questions to help you uncover your money experiences, beliefs, fears and patterns. The book is very holistic in its approach and while many people "know" that money is not the key to happiness, still behave that way. My least favorite part of the book (and reason for 4 stars) was Part 1, which I understand is foundational, but I think it could be half as long as still have the same impact. (There are also a few typos throughout the book, although this had no effect on my rating.)
