Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Mind Over Money
Brad Klontz · 2009
78/100
👍 Worth It
Brad and Ted Klontz offer something genuinely different in personal finance — a clinical but readable framework for understanding why we behave badly with money even when we know better. The twelve money disorders are well-defined and the childhood-scripts concept is illuminating. Some of the material has been built upon in newer books, but this is still a strong, credible introduction to financial psychology from authors who helped create the field.
