This booked opened up my eyes and made me realize the behavior I have towards money and that my childhood plays a huge rule on how I relate to money… I’m not even done with it yet, but I’m already blown away. This is not the kind of book you only read once and I know I’m still going to read it again after finishing it. Highly recommended.
