This book is jam-packed with practical exercises and wisdom to help you understand and rewrite your money mindset story. The sooner we understand our relationship with money, the sooner we can take action to get what we truly want out of our careers and lives.

The author's personal story triggered me, but understanding why helped rewrite some of my own limiting money assumptions.

+ Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki

This book transformed the way I think about money.

Robert shatters our most commonly-held money beliefs and explains financial concepts through clever, easy-to-remember frameworks that will challenge your thinking on earning, saving, and spending.

I credit this book for finally helping me leave corporate to start my own business and invest in my life-long financial education.

+ Women & Money by Suze Orman

I like this book because it provides a holistic view of what we can do now to avoid the many financial pitfalls that can haunt us later.

In the first half of the book, Suze draws a link between our self-worth and net worth, offering a ton of stats and anecdotal evidence to back up all the ways women give away our power. The second half gets into her “Financial Empowerment Plan,” a practical step-by-step guide packed tools, questions, trackers and calculators.

Suze is like the tough, cool aunt that you’re kind of scared of but also respect.

+ You Are a Badass: How To Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero

From start to finish, this book delivers a one-two punch of humorous anecdotes and practical steps to help you get over your own BS and make stuff happen.

With chapter titles like, “Loincloth Man” and “Fear Is for Suckers,” the author cheers you on with her enthusiastic, yet wry if-I-can-do-this-crap-so-can-you attitude.

+ The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay Hendricks

This is a must-read for high achievers who constantly reset the goal posts. I repeatedly return to the book’s concept of “upper limiting”—the unconscious beliefs that limit how happy, abundant, and successful we allow ourselves to be.

I agree with some people’s critique that the book can be repetitive. I think the book is worth it, but you might try this free article first.

+ Happiness Is…One Happy Thing Every Day. A Three-year Journal by Ralph Lazar and Lisa Swerling

A great way to cultivate abundance—monetary or otherwise—is to practice gratitude for what you already have. This book is a 3-year journal dedicated to helping you do just that.

My mom gifted me this book when I was really struggling in Corporate. Some of my entries like, “I stayed calm when I wanted to run out of the room,” and “Tomorrow is Thursday,” reveal some particularly low points, which give me a chuckle now that I'm free.

+ The 52 Lists Project: A Year of Weekly Journaling Inspiration by Moorea Seal

This was gifted to me by a work friend who understood my love for lists and hatred of working for The Man.

The book is divided into 13 lists for each of the four seasons. After each list, there’s a prompt for further exploration or gentle nudge to take action.

I dated each entry, and I love flipping back through to see what’s changed or remained the same.

+ The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg

What's the best way to cultivate an abundance mindset? Habits.

Habits are key to EVERYTHING we do. So it’s a great idea to understand why they exist and how to change them.

I like this book so much I use the concepts in my coaching programs. If you're looking for an accessible, crunchy way to build in habits that actually stick, check it out.

+ Dollars Flow To Me Easily by Richard Dotts

Notice how we assume success needs to be hard work? What if the path to getting everything we wanted were a whole lot simpler?!

Not gonna lie, the title of this book annoyed me so much, it sat on my shelf unread for a couple of years.

Then one morning, in a moment of peace, abundance, and indulgence, I decided to pick it up. I'm glad I did. It's one of my favorite resources for reminding myself that going after what we want gets to be fun and easy.
