[Jay French · Rating 2 out of 5]

I consider myself well-read in personal finance. So when I saw the title of this book, I thought I might find a book that either comes up with new ways to think of personal finance based on common knowledge, or ways to teach others. I’d be interested in either of these topics – becoming better from a good base, and teaching my kids and others. That isn’t what this is about. Instead, this is a typical goal-setting self-help book, with as much a focus on living a healthy and valuable/reasoned life as on finances. It’s probably more the first topics than finance. If you are well read in these topics, much of this will sound familiar. If you haven’t read a lot or thought a lot about personal finance, this seems like a good book to read early in your exploration.

This book reads like a modern combination of How to Think and Grow Rich and How to Win Friends and Influence People. It links financial stability to happiness and healthfulness. It provides guidance to determine what that means to you and how to set goals to achieve it. It was a quick and light read.

This is a very thought provoking book. It includes a number of tools to help one to really look into leveraging the intersection of money, health and happiness. I highly recommend this book for all ages and life stages.

The book does an excellent job of helping to remind us ‘why’ we do certain things/take certain actions and also ‘why’ we should focus on certain goals and actions over others. It’s a great and motivating read!
