About this listen
WINNER OF THE MONEY AWARENESS AND INCLUSION AWARD FOR BEST BOOK
'An incredible voyage of financial self-discovery with plenty of "aha" moments[...] Think of this as financial therapy with feeling' - Claer Barrett, Financial Times
'Essential reading for anyone who has ever earned, spent or saved money. Highly recommend' - Adam Alter, New York Times bestselling author of Irresistible, Anatomy of a Breakthrough and Drunk Tank Pink
Do you find it difficult to stick to a budget?
Do you hide purchases from your partner?
Do you often argue about money with your family?
One of the most important relationships we have is with money, yet we are often unaware of what drives our habits and feelings related to it. Money can be a cause of anxiety, shame and conflict in our everyday lives. A complex web of emotional factors, past experiences and personality all determine the money choices you make and how you feel about them. But how can you overcome these emotional hurdles to make better financial choices?
Financial Psychotherapist Vicky Reynal dives into different money behaviours such as overspending, underspending, money secrets and self-sabotage to uncover how our past experiences impact our relationship with money. Reynal reveals how an emotionally absent parent can result in comfort shopping, how bullying in school can lead to overspending, and how absorbing a parent's lack of boundaries can stop you from making rational financial decisions. Through a mix of case studies, client stories and expertise in psychotherapy, Money on Your Mind will help you unpack and understand what is driving your financial behaviours for an improved and healthier relationship with money.©2024 Vicky Reynal (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK

An insightful and deeply fascinating book
Even if you don’t have money “problems” you will learn something from this about yourself and those around you. This is the first book on money psychotherapy that I’ve ever come across and having finished it, I am amazed this type of book hasn’t been written before. I have often heard that economics borrows more from psychology than vice versa, but this book seems to be a synthesis of the two.

Great theme and different point of view
A lot of books about money but never about what it means for each of us, how our emotions are expressed through money. Great perspective

"It's Never About The Money"
"Money on Your Mind" by Vicky Reynal offers remarkable insights into human behavior and our financial habits.
The author convincingly surfaces a key paradox: "it's never about the money." Our financial habits - conscious or not, constructive or destructive - are manifestations of past trauma, which Gabor Maté defines as "what happens inside you as a result of what happens *to* you."
Experiencing financial instability in childhood can result in hoarding money or possessions.
Feeling neglected by our parents can cause us to seek dependence on them as adults.
Feeling overshadowed by a sibling can lead us to fight extra hard for our share of inheritance.
Being rewarded with money for good behavior can create a lifelong association between our self-worth and financial success.
Perceiving rich people as unfairly advantaged can induce guilt when we achieve wealth ourselves.
The book made me introspect like few others, and it will make you uncomfortable at times...but stick with it.
Reynal concludes with humility, acknowledging that understanding the roots of our financial habits is not a simple journey. Even with profound self-reflection, we may only glimpse "what can be seen from a keyhole of the room that is our mind."
