Synopsis

An NPR ""Best Books of 2023"" PickA leading financial expert breaks down the personal, cultural, and societal forces that have led us to falsely believe we can never have, do, or be enough, and shows us a fresh new path toward “MoneyZen”—her joy-based approach to living a life rich in financial health and emotional wealth. For anyone who has ever felt that they can never measure up, MoneyZen is your cure.No matter your age, income, or profession, it’s all too easy to fall prey to the false belief that the amount of money you earn, or accomplishments you achieve, or praise you receive is just Never Enough. In MoneyZen, financial industry veteran Manisha Thakor candidly shares how she overcame toxic behaviors around work, money, and prestige that had threatened her relationships, her health, and her career, told alongside the inspiring stories of individuals from all walks of life who reveal their own struggles with “Never Enough.”Through Thakor’s interviews with a wide range of interdisciplinary experts, you’ll learn how personal traumas, cultural influences, societal pressures, and even our own biology have conspired to make us believe that “more” is the answer to all our problems. And you’ll discover a unique way to reclaim your life using a formula that’s ultimately rooted in less: Financial Health + Emotional Wealth = MoneyZen.The result is a powerful, research-based framework for getting off the hamster wheel of 24/7 striving so you can start to live a life fueled by authentic joy, connection, and meaning.

3.75/4 Fricke Library First two chapters had me annoyed, I just don’t like to work as much as the author I guess? I get it, you work and buy expensive bags. Luckily we transitioned to some more relatable content that I think I need to mull over a bit still.......more

📖 4 ⭐️ The Secret to Finding Your “Enough” I really enjoyed reading about Manisha’s life as an investment & financial expert. A woman who once glorified working & achievement, who yes, because of her expertise, education & workaholic behavior lead her to be financially independent at 50. However, the......more
