I was a finance major who worked in banking, so I knew what I needed to do with money, but I found it challenging to follow through. The books I previously read were money books written by financial gurus who always used yelling and shaming as their teaching method. It never aligned with me. I started writing books with more compassion and an understanding that there are other variables affecting your financial health. I continue to read and recommend books written by people who aspire to help others by giving them knowledge and the space and grace to grow without the guilt trip.

You Only Live Once: The Roadmap to Financial Wellness and a Purposeful Life
This is a book on money and time. It’s written to help you understand that time is your most valuable resource. It’s both an asset and a liability. Time, as an asset, has value that we exchange for a paycheck to buy the things we need and want. However, time is also a liability with an unknown due date. It must be repaid back, and you can learn how to repay that borrowed time with a well-lived life.
The book focuses on shifting your relationship with money to improve your financial habits and behaviors. It aims to help you live well today while planning for a better tomorrow.
I have been following Tiffany’s overnight success, which was 10 years in the making, and was excited to read her first money book. I wasn’t surprised the book focuses on a holistic approach to personal finances by using the word financial wholeness.
Although the book is written primarily for women of color, I still got so much out of it because it was easily laid out and covered every essential area of finance. I especially like hearing Tiffany’s voice and feeling her infectious energy leap off the pages.

I really enjoyed reading this book because it was like sitting with a friend. I was quickly drawn in by Erin's first story about her Krispy Kreme donut, which started her financial journey.
She has a great way of explaining seemingly complex financial topics in easy-to-understand lingo. I think that’s what makes this book a great starter read on money. It’s simple yet impactful.

I enjoy money books that go beyond calculations and numbers and can reach the heart and soul. Leisa’s book helped me think of money in a holistic way, using the chakras that I am familiar with through yoga.

This was one of the first money books I read because it was recommended by a friend. I liked how easy it was to read, and I learned a great deal.
Although, at first, it read a bit “bro-ey,” his humor grew on me. I like its direct approach to money without the jargon and confusion. I also learned that the updated version has changed a bit to reflect less in-your-face and more about giving us space.

This book was such an easy read and finished it in a matter of hours on a long train ride. I like this approach to money that is less tactical and more spiritual. I enjoyed reading Ken’s observations of what helps us live happier lives by helping make our money happy.
Look around you - what do you see? You may discover to your surprise that the people who are most at peace with money are the ones who walk nimbly between having too little and having too much. They have found a balance between indulgence and austerity; between success and happiness; between motivation and inspiration; and between any number of other poles we tend to think of as either/or choices, but which in reality are simply posts on either side of a doorway through which we must pass.
For many of us the subject of money is unavoidably stressful. Managing…
Coaching is a wonderful technology that can help people be a force for change… and is often wrapped up in mystic and woo-woo and privilege that makes it inaccessible and/or unattractive to too many. I want being more coach-like—by which I mean staying curious a little longer, and rushing to action and advice-giving—to be an everyday way of being with one another. Driven by this, I’ve written the best-selling book on coaching this century (The Coaching Habit) and have created training that’s been used around the world by more than a quarter of a million people. I’m on a mission to unweird coaching.
The coaching book that's for all of us, not just coaches.
It's the best-selling book on coaching this century, with 15k+ online reviews. Brené Brown calls it "a classic". Dan Pink said it was "essential".
It is practical, funny, and short, and "unweirds" coaching. Whether you're a parent, a teacher, a leader, or even a coach, you can stay curious longer.
