Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Illusion of Money
Kyle Cease · 2022
62/100
👎 Skip It
Kyle Cease is a charming guide and his personal story from comedy to transformation is genuinely engaging, but the core argument — that money-chasing is fear-based and inner abundance is the answer — is circular and never grounds out in practical financial reality. If you are already drawn to New Thought wellness and consciousness-based self-help, you will find this warm and encouraging. If you want tools for changing your actual financial life, look elsewhere.
