Make Money Easy: Create Financial Freedom and Live a Richer Life

Lewis Howes · 2025
🎙 Narrated by Lewis Howes (self-narrated)
73/100
👍 Worth It

Howes takes a genuinely underserved angle — the emotional wounds and psychological stories people carry about money — and wraps it in practical tools like the Money Map and Money Style framework that give listeners something concrete to act on. It is not a technical investing guide and does not pretend to be, which is honest. Howes narrating his own work is the right call; his podcast warmth translates directly and makes the more vulnerable passages land.

✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.

▶ Listen to a sample

🎙 Narration: excellent Self-narrated by Howes with the same conversational warmth School of Greatness listeners already know. The personal money-wound stories land harder in his own voice than they would from a hired narrator.
