by Bonnie Koo

From the outside, you have it the advanced degree and fulfilling career, the loving family and nice home. But inside, it’s a different story. Student loans and credit card debt still follow you around, and living paycheck to paycheck feels like you’ve missed an important memo only your financially free counterparts received.

You’re relying on the next promotion and big raise to feel better about your finances, but what if making more money isn’t the solution you need? What if you could have all the money you want with a few simple adjustments?

Changing your financial status—like many things in life—is mind over The way you think about money impacts the amount of money you have.

In Defining Wealth for Women , Bonnie Koo, MD, shows you why everything you’ve ever learned about money is probably wrong. She reveals the common misconceptions and limiting beliefs that many professional women have when it comes to money, helping you see what’s possible when you break through the self-imposed ceiling. Even if you’ve never struggled with finances, this book helps you take your financial status to the next level and make your money work for you.

Myth busting advice for women about money and wealth. Dr. Koo sprinkles diamonds and pearls of advice throughout to help us examine and debunk our own thoughts about work, productivity and our potential to earn as women. Designed for female physicians - this book has plenty to offer for any professional woman making her own way in the world.

Mindset

This book dives into perception that society teaches about women and money. It challenges deeply seeded beliefs about the morality of money, the way women use money, and our capacity to understand and build wealth. Dr. Koo offers practical and non judgemental action steps, suggestions, and questions to guide your thinking. This isn't a "how to do what I did" book so much as a change your thinking book so that you can do what you want to do.

Loved how this book made me question how I approach money and what I want from my life! Highly recommend.

Unfortunately mostly woo-woo fluff and obvious information. If you want a basic finance book read I Will Teach You To Be Rich. If you want a more advanced book read Quit Like a Millionaire. If you want coaching baloney, read the first half of this book. Feels like an ad email or an upsell. For pragmatic tips others have covered the ground better. Disappointing

I finished the audiobook, it was really interesting. This book encouraged me to consider having more side hustles than my regular “9-5” work.

Thought provoking and challenges "norms". Nice and short with lots to think about. I do not usually read a book twice but I may for this one.

Read this for my finance group. It provides a more risk tolerant approach to keeping debt and investing (instead of saving in traditional savings accounts).
