We\u2019re giving away TWO COPIES of each book here!<\/strong> So scroll to the end to see how to enter, and hopefully you\u2019ll be one of the lucky winners to snag one \ud83d\udc4a<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what we\u2019ve got:<\/p>\n *******<\/p>\n He has some other classics<\/a> too around productivity, forming better habits, and generally just living well, but this is the first book I believe to focus on *money* specifically. Even the OG Morgan Housel gave a testimonial on it!<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a clip from its Amazon page:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe Stoics understood that if you can control your reactions and manage your emotions, you can achieve success. The same principles apply to our financial lives today. The greatest investors approach the markets with discipline, emotional distance, and self-mastery\u2014lessons that the Stoics have been teaching us for thousands of years.<\/p>\n Combining ancient wisdom with practical investment strategies drawn from analysis of the greatest investors of all time, The Stoic Path to Wealth will teach you how to:<\/p>\n To learn more or purchase: <\/strong>The Stoic Path to Wealth<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n *******<\/p>\n This is the first book from long-time blogger, Steve Adcock, of Millionaire Habits<\/a><\/strong>, and while you\u2019ll probably either love this one or hate it as Steve can get pretty feisty, lol, the overall message here will always remain true: when you become financially free you have more time, and energy, to give back to not only yourself but those around you too. But first you must focus on yourself!<\/p>\n Here\u2019s more about the book per Amazon: \u201cIn Millionaire Habits, popular personal finance educator Steve Adcock delivers a fun, insightful, and hands-on discussion of how to build financial security, retire early, and give back to the community. You\u2019ll learn to focus on yourself and your family first, creating personal wealth for the purpose of giving back to others.<\/p>\n In the book, the author explains that \u201csaving money\u201d isn\u2019t a goal in and of itself, but rather the end product of the personal wealth equation: Wealth = Income + Investments \u2013 Lifestyle. You\u2019ll discover how to pay yourself first with concrete guidance and practical advice drawn from people who built wealth on modest incomes.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll also find:<\/p>\n Perfect for young professionals, working families, self-employed people, and anyone else seeking to increase their net worth and get more out of life.\u201d<\/p>\n To learn more or purchase:<\/strong> Millionaire Habits<\/a><\/p>\n [You might also recall Steve\u2019s name from the Rockstar Finance<\/em> days as he was the brains behind all of our tech, allowing us to expand and add features at lightning speed \u2013 at one point launching new endeavors with each passing month, whether it was the Blog Directory, the Forums, or the Feed Database where anyone could read any blog post being published across the world! It was fun times, and I owe a lot of the success of the project to Steve. So thanks for everything, buddy \u2013 always enjoy working with ya \ud83e\udd19]<\/p>\n PS:<\/strong> Steve also has an FI Accelerator course if you learn better through action-oriented tasks: FI\/Accelerator: Step-by-Step Guide to Achieving Financial Independence<\/a><\/p>\n *******<\/p>\n This book comes from Tony Steuer who recently had me on his podcast<\/a>,<\/strong> and if the book is anything like the fun conversations we had there I think you\u2019ll enjoy it. I haven\u2019t personally read it, but I\u2019m always a fan of books that not only tell you the *why* behind stuff, but also the *how*. And this one seems from afar at least that it merges both of them nicely.<\/p>\n If you win it you\u2019ll have to let me know if I was correct! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a clip from Amazon:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe Get Ready! Blueprint is an essential 52-week planner that helps you understand your financial goals and create and achieve your own strong financial decisions. With this easy-to-use road map and clear action steps, you\u2019ll gain an overall view of how everything in your financial life fits together and how to maintain it.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll begin by building useful habits, then put them to use in planning, calculating, and reviewing key financial information. With Tony Steuer\u2019s proven \u201cGet Ready Method,\u201d you can<\/p>\n To learn more or purchase:<\/strong> The Get Ready Blueprint<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n *******<\/p>\n Okay \u2013 now to the \u201cenergetics\u201d one \ud83d\ude42<\/strong> Which is brought to you by long-time blog reader, and blogger herself, Christine Luken<\/a>. Another book I have a feeling you\u2019ll either love or hate, but even if you\u2019re just a little into the energies of the world, or into yoga or reiki or any of those more \u201cwoo\u201d practices on the fringes I think you\u2019ll appreciate this one. At the very least to get a *different* perspective that you might not have otherwise considered. You never know what might click!<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a snippet from Amazon:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe often think of money as bills and coins, checking and savings accounts, paychecks and passive income. Yet, at its essence, money is financial energy; that\u2019s why it\u2019s called \u201ccurrency.\u201d<\/p>\n There are two distinct and complementary energies, the yin and yang, in personal finance: Provider money and Pleasure money. Discover the nature of these two energic forces and how they overlay the entirety of your personal finances. Seeing your money through this energetic lens is a paradigm shift, a philosophy of money rather than a strict how-to guide.<\/p>\n After reading this book, you will have the knowledge and confidence to balance Provider and Pleasure energies, creating a financial life that supports your happiness and peace of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n To learn more or purchase:<\/strong> Provider Money, Pleasure Money<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n *******<\/p>\n This one comes from long-time reader and frequent publisher, Bill Hines,<\/strong> who\u2019s always kind enough to offer up some free copies to us here. His last book you might recall was \u201cKiss Your Money Hello!: (And Financial Stress Goodbye)<\/a>\u201d and just an overall passionate and great guy.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s more about the book from Amazon: \u201cImagine how well you\u2019d sleep at night knowing your boxes are checked\u2014everything the kids will need, all your dreams right on through early retirement, when you\u2019re young enough to enjoy those dreams.<\/p>\n This book shows you how to take control and build your own financial plan, using high fidelity, inexpensive software, not the dumbed-down financial\/retirement planning tools you find all over the internet.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll take you through some important general financial planning context, and then through the steps to building a financial plan for a sample family. Along the way, we\u2019ll discuss the different inputs and assumptions required for any financial plan, as well as how to interpret the results and put your plan into action.\u201d<\/p>\n To learn more or purchase:<\/strong> Plan Your Money Path<\/a><\/p>\n [FYI: This one hasn\u2019t hit the shelves yet, but we\u2019ll get the winners a physical copy by the end of Sept!]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n *******<\/p>\n Lastly, a new book from Alain Guillot \u2013 a long-time friend of the blog!<\/strong> This one has only been released as a *Kindle* book, however Alain was kind enough to shoot me a PDF version of it so the two winners will receive that for easy access.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s more about it per Amazon:<\/p>\n \u201cThis book is a culmination of years spent navigating the complex landscape of personal finance, entrepreneurship, and self-discovery. It\u2019s about the lessons learned from both success and failure, and the lessons I learned from the experiences of others, including some of the most successful minds of our time.<\/p>\n The book is composed of 10 chapters in which I share my ideas on managing money, yourself\u2014your mind, your habits, and your expectations. We\u2019ll explore topics that challenge conventional wisdom, such as the role of gender in success, the myths surrounding investment choices, and the often-overlooked impact of childhood experiences on our adult lives.<\/p>\n As you turn the pages, you\u2019ll move from basic financial knowledge to ideas of what it means to thrive in a world that often feels uncertain.\u201d<\/p>\n To learn more or purchase:\u00a0<\/strong>The Wealth Paradox<\/a><\/p>\n *******<\/p>\n Let me know in the comments below (or via email if you\u2019re reading this there), and you\u2019ll be automatically entered to win!
