👍 Worth It
Written by the UK's first financial psychotherapist, this award-winner (MAIA 2024, Investing Insiders 2025) digs into the childhood wounds and unconscious patterns that drive money shame and self-sabotage — and it does it with real clinical case studies, not pop-psych platitudes. If you have ever wondered why you do what you do with money, this is the most honest book on the shelf.
