Why did I love this book?
The very first sentence of this book made me slam it shut and leave it untouched for years.

This is now easily the book I recommend to people the most, and the one I read over and over. But you have to let a lot go because it will absolutely go up your nose if you’re still working on your issues around it being OK to make money.
