Book SynopsisA compassionate guide on personal finance that focuses on the value of your life instead of just fixating on the value of a dollar. Erin Lowry, author of the Broke Millennial series.In Wealth Is a Mindset, Shang Saavedra, Founder of Save My Cents and top personal finance coach, creates a judgment-free space for readers to learn about personal finance and make their dreams of financial independence come true, one cent at a time. Shang Saavedra is the Founder and CEO of Save My Cents, a personal-finance education and coaching platform that focuses on the intersection of mental health and financial wealth. Her ethos is that changing one's finances isn't merely about making or saving more money. In her mind, personal finance is personal and thus related to one's upbringing, past experiences, family history, and more. It requires bravely facing the traumas and fears of one's past and tracing how they lead to mindsets grounded in scarcity and insecurity, especially as they relate to the handling of money. Drawing upon scientific research on psychology and neuroscience, as well as many mental health experts, Saavedra has developed a methodology called Trigger, Action, Reward, which identifies the root causes of unhealthy money behaviors, provides concrete suggestions on how to break those cycles, and guides readers toward an abundance mindset that leads to financial success and security. Through her online classes and coaching lessons in investing, saving for retirement, debt freedom, and more, she has helped thousands of clients implement the TAR strategy and achieve transformative change in their lives.Wealth Is a Mindset provides practical, concrete applications of Saavedra's mindset-changing methodology. It is also an empathetic memoir that shows how Saavedra and her husband overcame many of their own emotional challenges to attain financial freedom. Dozens of anecdotes from her clients illustrate how the strategy works in real life. More importantly, it shows that we all are human, our inherent worth going far beyond simply a salary and net worth number. Featuring prescriptive, judgment-free exercises and worksheets to show step by step how to pay down debt, raise income, start a side hustle, save more money, invest for retirement, and build generational wealth, Wealth Is a Mindset will help readers find ways to improve their money and their lives, no matter where they are in their personal money story.

Book SynopsisWe are hard-wired to believe that the world is more predictable than it is. We chase ‘winning streaks’ that are often just illusions, and we are all too predictable exactly when we try hardest not to be. In the 1970s, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky coined the phrase ‘representativeness’ to describe the psychology of this behaviour. Since then representativeness has been used by auditors to catch people fiddling their tax returns and by hedge fund managers to reap billions from the emotions of small investors. Now Poundstone for the first time makes these techniques fun, easy, and profitable for everyone, in the everyday situations that matter. You’ll learn how to tackle multiple choice tests, what internet passwords to avoid, how to up your odds of winning the office Premier League sweepstakes, and the best ways to invest your money.Trade Review‘Poundstone draws on extensive research to show the roots of our predictability… a fascinating read.’ * BBC Focus *‘Highly entertaining’ * Engineering and Technology magazine *'Poundstone is a smart thinker, a deft writer and a spinner of engaging tales… enjoyable and original’ -- Tim Harford'Ingenious... a delightful addition to the everything-you-thought-you-knew-is-wrong genre.' * Kirkus Reviews *'Intriguing and immensely useful.' * Publishers Weekly *

Book SynopsisA guide for women to find financial confidence, say goodbye to guilt, and finally get ahead with money without sacrificing what they care about, from money expert, podcaster, and CEO Chloe Elise.This is not your average finance book.Like most people these days, Elise went to college not only with student loans, but also completely clueless as to how debt even worked. Instead of abiding by restrictive, guilt-filled advice, she set off on a new debt-payoff journey where she made the rules. Fast-forward eighteen months, and not only did she become completely debt-free, paying off more than $36,000 of debt, but she did it while traveling and enjoying life in her twenties. And now she?s sharing how you can do it, too.In Deeper Than Money, Elise demystifies finance for anyone who feels stuck in cycles of guilt around spending. Part practical guide to finance and part motivational kick in the butt to set yourself up for success, this book is all about showing how to live your life, love your finances, and make money matter less. It?ll have you ready to talk about money at brunch with your friends, and finally allow you to get ahead with money?without skipping the mimosa. Deeper Than Money will help you level up not only your finances, but also your life. Because in order to enjoy the wealth you?re building, you also need to enjoy the life you?re living.

Book Synopsis''Hugely enjoyable'' - Observer''Spectacular'' - Aaron Brown, author of The Poker Face of Wall StreetSome people can make money. Other people can't. It's a thought that makes William Leith wake up in a cold sweat. He doesn't know why it makes him feel anxious. After all, money isn't real. We created it. Humans did. It's our masterpiece. But the desire for it is killing us. It is this dilemma that sets William Leith off on an adventure into the bizarre, morally dubious, yet highly desirable world of the mega-rich. He spends a day with the real-life Wolf of Wall Street who, not content with his hundreds of millions, devised a fraud so he could make hundreds of millions more. He visits a Baroque mansion where a Russian half-billionaire lives alone with his butler. He tours the estate of Felix Dennis, the maverick tycoon who commissioned an avenue of statues to tell the story of his life. He flies to private islands on private jets, meets private mTrade ReviewThe Trick takes all of Leith’s writing habits – his mazy streams of consciousness (few writers are quite so enamoured of, or good at, watching themselves think) and his love of axiom – and, if anything, ups the ante... Hugely enjoyable -- Tim Adams * Observer *Part Hunter S. Thompson, part Montaigne: a blend of gonzo journalism and rambling reflection interspersed with learned references * Spectator *Chummy, funny and genuinely interesting, The Trick has to be one of the best books about money around * Tatler *Spectacular ... The Trick takes us on a fevered thrill ride through the heads of the richest people in the world, plus some of the most accomplished risk-takers, to answer the eternal question, why does money stick to thee, and not to me? -- Aaron Brown, author of 'The Poker Face of Wall Street'Most books about the uber-wealthy portray them either as superheroes to be unquestioningly admired or as obsessive psychopathic idiots. The joy of this book is how beautifully it walks the narrow line between the two -- Rory Sutherland, author of Alchemy: The Surprising Power of Ideas That Don't Make SenseA superb book ... Leith has always been one of our best non-fiction writers and this is his crowning achievement -- Praise for 'The Hungry Years', Jon RonsonAs a memoir and as comedy, it succeeds beautifully ... As a confessional, it is pretty much a masterclass – frank, tough-minded, funny, generous -- praise for 'The Hungry Years' * New Statesman *Resembles an expertly-paced stand-up routine ... Positively Izzard-esque -- Praise for 'Bits of Me Are Falling Apart' * Time Out *Leith offers a tour of his own frantic inner world, reflecting on a dizzying array of subjects ... These range from cowboys and gangsters to the feeding habits of chimpanzees. His metastasising anecdotes and revelations are deeply personal, often wilfully tangential and always thought-provoking * Economist *[Leith’s] passages about his multiple overlapping neuroses are touched by comic genius … Leith offers sharply comical observations about both the lure and absurdity of great wealth * Mail on Sunday *
