One of the best written and most sophisticated books on personal finance that I ve read (and I ve read a few).' ALAN KOHLER Leading economist Evan Lucas s bestselling guide to mastering your mindset and making better financial decisions is now available in a smaller, more affordable format, with two bonus chapters of updated information. Mind over Money has helped thousands of readers understand their money personality better and how their thinking and mindset drives their money behaviour. What drives our behaviour and attitude to money? All too often we ignore logic and make decisions around money that we know aren t entirely rational. That s because money isn t just about ?nances it s deeply tied up with our emotions, our learned behaviours and our biases. In the first of the new chapters, the author explores why knowing your money bias (whether you are spender, risk-taker or investor) is not enough. How do you flick the switch and take action if you need to control this bias? In the second bonus chapter, readers learn why having gratitude for what you have will improve your relationship with money. This updated edition is certain to find a whole new readership in the current challenging economic environment.

Evan Lucas is the regular money commentator on ABC News Breakfast and on ABC Radio news. He also appears regularly on Channel 9 s TODAY, The Project and SKY News. A popular personal finance podcast guest, Evan is also a leading economist and Chief Market Strategist at InvestSMART. His love of markets goes back to sitting with his grandfather as a child and mulling over his investment portfolios. What he learnt from his early experiences is that investing habits, strategies and behaviours do not translate across families, generations or peers. This led him to become fascinated with behavioural finance throughout a career that has taken him to the Netherlands, the UK and back to Australia over a decade and a half. An experienced financial educator, his biggest learnings from his time working in markets, investing and finance is that our individual behaviour towards money is always different and always changing.

Reviews for Mind over Money: Why understanding your money behaviour will improve your financial freedom

Evan's Mind Over Money is one of the best written, most engaging and, at heart, most sophisticated books on personal finance that I've read (and I've read a few). Alan Kohler, Editor-in-Chief of Eureka Report, finance reporter on ABC News, columnist for The New Daily and Adjunct Professor at Victoria University As an experienced market strategist, I have often relied on Evan's investment insights, but it's his ability to make us question what really makes us tick that's the real highlight here. Financial wellbeing and freedom starts with becoming financially self-aware. Evan does a great job of helping us discover the best financial versions of ourselves. Effie Zahos, Editor-at-Large of Canstar, money expert for The Today Show, author of Ditch the Debt and Get Rich and A Real Girl's Guide to Money, and independent director of InvestSMART Normally the only person who benefits from a personal finance book is the author - but not with this one. Evan teaches you how to fish, rather than telling you which fish will make you slightly richer right now. Elysse Morgan, host of ABC's The Business, and board member of Media Super and Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Women's Shelter Unsurprisingly, Evan has nailed it! Money's not just something we use; it's attached to our behaviour. When Evan explains why you behave, think and act in certain ways with money, you better understand that your way with money is unique to you. Once that penny drops, you will question your money behaviour for the better. Mind over Money is not just a refreshing, energising read but a must-read for those looking to understand money and themselves better! Brooke Corte, host of Money News, Nine Radio (3AW, 2GB, 4BC)
