How to be Your Own Financial Planner in 10 Steps: Master Your Financial Life
By the time you complete this book, your financial life will have taken new shape! You will have worked on 10 different areas of your financial life, in the same way a financial planner works with you. The book has the ability to guide you on how to plan the 10 most important areas of your financial life. There are two types of investors in India: those who plan their financial life and those who plan nothing and just let their financial live move with the flow. The second group is extremely large, and this book is targeted at this group.
Many investors who are DIY (Do It Yourself) investors can use this book to plan their financial life and be their own financial planners at some basic level. The book has the 3 elements of education, planning and action items all packed into one. Written for the common person, in simple language, the book deals with the most important financial worries and questions.
Manish Chauhan's first book, 16 Personal Finance Principles Every Investor Should Know was a great hit and well received by readers. The previous book taught investors the basics of personal finance. This book is a natural progression of that concept where you focus on actions and completing things in your financial life. The book is free from technical jargon yet has strong content, which is currently missing in the personal finance space. Grab your copy right now and give a new power to your financial life.

I had just begun my career in IT industry. With money, I had all sorts of reservations. I wanted the best for myself. I wanted financial freedom right from the start. However dedicated this looks like, I wasn't a bit in the right track. To begin with, I didn't even know what's financial freedom. How can one achieve something if he/she does know anything about what he really wants to achieve?
That's where this book comes in.
This book put me thinking in the right direction. Each chapter was an eye opener. I had read many financial books by foreign authors. But reading this one (by Indian author) gave me actionable insights. It boosted my knowledge and served as an excellent guide.
If you're ever out in the wealth forest, do keep this book handy. It might turn out to be a good map!

It is a great book for financial amateurs and people who are just starting to organize their financial activities. Quality content in a very simple language along with real life problems and their solutions with calculations makes this book a must read for beginners.
Manish's way of writing is as if he was directly explaining the facts to you face-to-face and hence prevents you from drifting off and holds you till the end.
To sum it up, this book WILL make you your own financial planner in 10 steps !

Mind Blowing Book of This year of Mine
“Splendid”
This is the word , when I read out last page of this book. Reader like me can utter such words for very few financial books due to terminology of commerce world. But for me this book is a “Must Read for every Indian and others”. This book (as subjected) is about personnel financing planning introduction by writer (Manish Chauhan is financial adviser in Jago Invester firm and blogger of financial issue. he is having rich experience in financing).
I strongly recommend that book to all people, specifically middle class Indians. This Book is really Alarm to Middle class Indians for their financial life. Indians has genrally very lazy approach for their financial life. This book will teach you to readjust your financial life is 10 major steps.
As I said, if you miss this kind of book in your early age. actually you miss a lot in your life.

This book gives you a wake up call. Its really useful book in case you are not one of those people who have their financial plans in place. It gives us insights on many basic things like life insurance, retirement planning, investing etc. It also clears our misconceptions that we have about various financial products (Eg: We mostly opt for endowment plans for life insurance but this books explains why we should not go for endowment plans and opt for term insurance.). This is an eye opener book and must read for all the age-groups.

If you ignore the talking-down tone, the book does justice to it's name. There's a core template of financial planning steps that the average middle-class Indian tends to ignore or pay lip-service to. This book helps you to focus on each step or aspect of your financial life, from estate planning to emergency funds and investments. Worth your while.
