Books That Will Transform the Way You Think About Money (and Yourself)

If you’ve been on a journey of changing your relationship with money, you already know it’s not just about budgeting or investing. It’s about mindset, awareness, and identity — who you believe yourself to be when it comes to money and worth.

These are five books that have deeply shaped the way I think, teach, and live when it comes to abundance and financial empowerment.

1. Your Money or Your Life – Vicki Robin

This book is a cornerstone of what I would call conscious finance.

It reframes money as life energy, the time and energy you trade for income—and helps you align your spending with what truly matters. It’s one of the most powerful tools I’ve found for helping people reconnect their values to their financial decisions.

2. The Psychology of Money – Morgan Housel

Housel beautifully explains that financial success is less about what you know and more about how you behave.

Through simple, relatable stories, he shows how our upbringing, emotions, and life experiences shape our money decisions far more than logic does.

It’s a must-read for anyone who wants to build lasting wealth with emotional awareness.

We don’t get what we know, we get what we believe.

3. Love Money, Money Loves You – Sarah McCrum

This one goes deep into the energy of money. It can feel a bit “woo” at times but the messaging around our beliefs and energetic relationship to money are real!

It invites you to build a loving, trusting relationship with money rather than one rooted in fear or scarcity.
If you’ve ever felt like money was something outside of you, something to chase or fix, this book helps you see it as something that wants to work with you.

4. Be Your Future Self Now – Dr. Benjamin Hardy

This is one of my favorite mindset books, and it ties directly into financial transformation.

Hardy teaches that your future self should be the one guiding your decisions, not your past.

When you align your daily actions with who you want to become, your relationship with money naturally shifts. It’s how we begin living from expansion instead of fear.

This is one of the cornerstones of my program, Rewrite Your Money Story.

5. The Big Leap – Gay Hendricks

This book is about breaking through your upper limit.

Your upper limit is that invisible ceiling that keep you stuck.

It’s deeply relevant to money because many people subconsciously limit their earning or success due to hidden beliefs about what they deserve.

This book helps you step into your Zone of Genius which is the place where wealth, joy, and purpose meet. The place where you shine.

Final Thought

Each of these books offers something different: awareness, mindset, energy, future vision, and expansion.

I would love to here if you have any you would add to the list.
