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 you may not be aware of the complex web of emotions and past experiences that are really driving your money habits. Money on Your Mind helps you unpack these psychological hurdles so you can make better financial choices.

Through a mix of case studies, client stories and expertise, financial psychotherapist Vicky 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 interfere with making rational financial decisions. Reynal helps you shift those ingrained attitudes and beliefs, so you stop falling into the same damaging financial traps. You'll learn to:
· Recognise your spending triggers
· Let go of a scarcity mindset
· Free yourself of spending anxiety
· Take control over your money habits

And finally understand what is driving your financial behaviours for an improved and healthier relationship with money.©2024 Vicky Reynal (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK Personal Finance Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Emotions Money

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.

An insightful and deeply fascinating book

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

Great theme and different point of view

A truly great book, I've needed a book like this for a long time and it has shed light on many things I suspected and many I didn't. Knowing and naming these underlying dynamics will help to have a healthier and more enjoyable relationship with money and also with other people. The only drawback for me is, like with many non-fiction audiobooks, that the writer should not read their own book. A professional narrator or actor always enhances the experience, same with this book. Overall, the content is what's key though.

Enlightening read on the deeper dynamics about 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."
