This had some good ideas and opened up my mind to other possibilities. It was a interesting read and I've taken some of the ideas forward.
I thoroughly enjoyed the teachings of this book. I found myself taking a deeper look inside on how finances have impacted my mental health. I also took away some tools that can help me in my professional life. I do think this is a book that is more hands on and is harder to grasp reading as an E- book. There’s a lot of activities that require thinking and a lot of self truth. The author did a good job.
Thanks you Sounds true and NetGalley for this ARC. Being the first to admit my financial mindset isn’t always quite as robust as I would like, and having a penchant for mindfulness books, this book was an absolute must read.
Joyce Marter is therapist who throughout this book explains the connection between a strong financial mindset and good self-esteem. Having not read much in the financial genre, this is not something I had previously spent much time considering.
Joyce breaks the book into 12 chapters, suggesting that the reader spend a month on each chapter, slowly progressing through the book working through the questionnaire, journal prompts, and case study within each chapter. Joyce uses the “wellness wheel” to log the readers responses from each questionnaire , with the results highlighting to the reader where their mindset could use a little help.
I love the way Joyce easily and respectfully shows the reader how our “mental perceptions, such as limiting beliefs, forgiveness, resilience, acceptance, to name a few as so closely linked to our financial success.
I highly recommend this easy to use and understand book.
The Financial Mindset Fix by Joyce Master is an excellent work book with several valuable tools & exercises to help a person achieve better mental & financial fitness. This book requests active participation from the reader in the form of journaling and answering specific questions in each chapter. Personal stories & helpful examples are threaded throughout helping the reader to relate to the author & be inspired to continue with the program. I found the book to be exactly what I was hoping for & a little more. The activities throughout each chapter felt daunting at times but each exercise left me feeling glad that I completed it & more informed on my own personal mental health and financial journey. This book contains concepts and methods that are extremely helpful but sometimes only accessible to folks who are actively involved in therapy or personal coaching. While not a replacement for in person therapy it certainly provides a good look at the type of methods that might be used & outcomes that can be achieved. This book is an excellent resource for people of all ages and demographics who are looking to improve their lives. It would be especially fun to work through the material in a class or small group.
