Why Damaris loves this book
This book is brilliant. Life-changing brilliant, dare I say.
The biggest thing it gave me is a simple but uncomfortable truth: money is emotional, not mathematical. We like to believe our decisions are rational, but so many of them are shaped by fear, comparison, past experiences, and the stories we tell ourselves.
What I really appreciated is that this book doesn't try to impress you with gimmicks or promise to make you rich. There are no flashy tips, no shortcuts. It goes deeper. It asks you to understand yourself first, then build a relationship with money that you can actually live with.
It made me think differently about wealth, risk, patience, and what "enough" really means. It reminded me that survival matters more than brilliance, and that real wealth is often invisible.
