I often recommend books for personal finance and life change. There are so many to choose from! I can’t share every book I’ve read, so below is a list of the ones I often reference while coaching. The images below are clickable and will take you to Amazon. I may receive a commission when you click through and make a purchase, but this in no way influenced what I added to the list.
My Top Recommendation:
A Beginner’s Guide to Win With Money – Christina Edel (yours truly!)
This book is practical and easy to read. Each chapter ends with clear steps and exercises to help you make immediate changes to your finances. It summarizes the most important money lessons I took from many of the other books listed below. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do – I really put my heart into it. If you only write one Amazon review this year, please consider writing it for my book. Thank you!
