1. You Are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero

Best for: money mindset, confidence and challenging limiting beliefs.

This is a bold, energetic book for anyone who knows they have some money stories to untangle.

It is not the quietest book on the shelf, but sometimes that is exactly what you need. Sometimes you need a book that shakes you a little and makes you question the beliefs you have been carrying about money, earning, receiving and what is possible for your life.

Read this if you have been telling yourself that wanting more money makes you greedy, unrealistic or “too much”. It is a helpful reminder that your desire for more ease, choice and freedom is not something to be ashamed of.

2. The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel

Best for: understanding behaviour, emotions and decision-making around money.

This is one of those books that reminds you that money is not just a maths problem.

So much of how we handle money comes down to behaviour, patience, fear, comparison, personal history and the stories we tell ourselves about risk and security.

If you have ever wondered why two people can earn similar amounts but make completely different financial decisions, this book helps explain why. It is thoughtful, easy to read and full of useful perspective.

Read this if you want to become more aware of how your emotions, habits and beliefs influence your financial choices.

3. Happy Money by Ken Honda

Best for: healing your emotional relationship with money.

I love the concept of “happy money” because it encourages us to look at the energy we attach to money.

Some people receive money with guilt. Some spend with anxiety. Some save from fear. Some give from obligation. Some earn but never feel safe. Money can carry so much emotional weight.

This book is a lovely option if you want to bring more peace, gratitude and ease into your relationship with money.

Read this if you are trying to move away from money stress and towards a softer, healthier way of thinking about receiving, spending, giving and growing.

4. The Soul of Money by Lynne Twist

Best for: values, sufficiency and conscious wealth.

This is a beautiful book if you want to think about money in a deeper, more meaningful way.

It asks you to look at your relationship with money, not just as something to earn and spend, but as something connected to your values, choices, purpose and sense of enoughness.

This is especially helpful if you are tired of feeling like there is never enough. Enough money. Enough time. Enough progress. Enough security. Enough success.

Read this if you want to move away from scarcity thinking and explore what it means to use money in a way that feels aligned, generous and intentional.

5. We Should All Be Millionaires by Rachel Rodgers

Best for: women, earning more and building economic power.

This is a brilliant book for women who are ready to stop apologising for wanting financial freedom.

Rachel Rodgers writes about money in a way that feels bold, practical and empowering. It challenges the idea that women should be modest about money, quiet about ambition or uncomfortable with building serious wealth.

This book is especially useful if you want to expand your earning mindset and start seeing wealth as something that can create choice, safety, impact and freedom.

Read this if you need permission to want more without guilt.

6. Financial Feminist by Tori Dunlap

Best for: money confidence, women’s financial independence and practical empowerment.

This is a great book for women who want money advice that understands the emotional and social side of money too.

It covers practical areas like debt, saving, investing and spending, while also speaking to the fact that women are often taught to be careful with money but not always encouraged to build wealth confidently.

I like this kind of book because it helps normalise money conversations. It reminds you that learning about money is not embarrassing. It is empowering.

Read this if you want to feel more informed, more confident and less alone in your financial journey.

7. Get Good with Money by Tiffany Aliche

Best for: practical money confidence and financial wholeness.

This book is a really helpful bridge between mindset and action.

Sometimes we talk about abundance, but we also need structure. We need to know what is happening with our money. We need systems. We need savings. We need a plan that feels realistic, not overwhelming.

Tiffany Aliche’s approach is practical and encouraging. It is especially helpful if you want to feel calmer and more in control financially, without feeling judged for where you are starting from.

Read this if you want a clearer, more grounded money reset.

8. Your Money or Your Life by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez

Best for: values-based money decisions and financial independence.

This is a classic book for anyone who wants to think more intentionally about money, work, time and life.

The title says so much. Your money and your life are connected. The way you earn, spend and save affects your energy, your choices, your freedom and your sense of peace.

This book is helpful if you have been questioning whether your spending, work or lifestyle truly reflects what matters to you.

Read this if you want to stop using money on autopilot and start making financial choices that feel more aligned with the life you actually want.

9. Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

Best for: thinking differently about assets, income and financial education.

This is one of the most well-known personal finance books, and I think it is useful as a mindset shift.

The main value of this book is that it encourages you to think differently about money, assets, liabilities, financial education and how wealth can be built over time.

I would read this as a perspective-shifting book rather than a complete financial plan. Take the ideas that help you think bigger, then combine them with sound, regulated financial advice when making real-life decisions.

Read this if you want to start thinking more like an owner, investor and long-term wealth builder.

10. Money: A Love Story by Kate Northrup

Best for: money shame, self-worth, receiving and building a more loving relationship with money.

This is a lovely choice if you want a money book that feels personal, emotional and reflective rather than purely practical.

Kate Northrup explores the connection between money, value, self-worth and the stories we carry about receiving. It is especially helpful if money has ever felt heavy, uncomfortable or tied to guilt.

I like this book because it invites you to look at money with more compassion. Not from a place of shame or panic, but from a place of curiosity and honesty.

Read this if you want to soften your relationship with money, understand your money patterns and start seeing wealth as something you are allowed to receive, manage and enjoy.
