'One of the best written and most sophisticated books on personal finance that I’ve read (and I’ve read a few).' ALAN KOHLER
Leading economist Evan Lucas’s bestselling guide to mastering your mindset and making better financial decisions is now available in a smaller, more affordable format, with two bonus chapters of updated information.
Mind over Money has helped thousands of readers understand their money personality better and how their thinking and mindset drives their money behaviour.
What drives our behaviour and attitude to money? All too often we ignore logic and make decisions around money that we know aren’t entirely rational. That’s because money isn’t just about finances – it’s deeply tied up with our emotions, our learned behaviours and our biases.
In the first of the new chapters, readers learn why having gratitude for what you have will improve your relationship with money.
In the second bonus chapter, the author explores the very human trait of falling into ‘cost sinkholes’ – failing ventures we continue to throw resources at purely because we have done so previously – and how we can learn to cut our losses and, even better, prevent ourselves from falling into these sinkholes in the first place.
This updated edition is certain to find a whole new readership in the current challenging economic environment.
PRAISE FOR MIND OVER MONEY
'One of the best written, most engaging and, at heart, most sophisticated books on personal finance that I’ve read (and I’ve read a few).'
Alan Kohler, Editor-in-Chief of Eureka Report, finance reporter on ABC News, columnist for The New Daily and Adjunct Professor at Victoria University
'As an experienced market strategist, I have often relied on Evan’s investment insights, but it’s his ability to make us question what really makes us tick that’s the real highlight here. Financial wellbeing and freedom starts with becoming financially self-aware. Evan does a great job of helping us discover the best financial versions of ourselves.'
Effie Zahos, Editor-at-Large of Canstar, money expert for TODAY and author of Ditch the Debt and Get Rich and A Real Girl’s Guide to Money
'Normally the only person who benefits from a personal finance book is the author – but not with this one. Evan teaches you how to fish, rather than telling you which fish will make you slightly richer right now.'
Elysse Morgan, host of ABC’s The Business
'Unsurprisingly, Evan has nailed it! Mind over Money is not just a refreshing, energising read but a must-read for those looking to understand money and themselves better!'
Brooke Corte, host of Money News, Nine Radio (3AW, 2GB, 4BC)
