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

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it gave me lots to think about. It is full of real world examples which illustrate the themes brilliantly and is like gently being in therapy. The author is not judgemental or bossy but compassionate and empathetic and I found it really interesting as well as helpful. I think it will make a difference to my emotionally driven spending habits too.

So helpful

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

I enjoyed listening to this book. I learnt a lot about myself and others in my life. I also liked that the narrator was also the author.

interesting and descriptive

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 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
