Maya

Generous and eye opening

Revisado: 04-05-24

I am a fan of Madeline's from Tiktok and I honestly got this book to support her. A lot of things she talks about is US centric and I am a bit older then her so I don't find it as useful as I would if I had an opportunity to read this book when I was younger.
AT THE SAME TIME, this is a wonderful story of someone's money history and through it I learned a lot about myself as well. Madeline writes in an honest, vulnerable way and throughout the book I had the feeling of her generously sharing her knowledge and experience with us.
I stan her success and I hope there will be more and more people living and working in a way that she does.

I am a fan of Maya Angelou and still even with my high expectations, I am again and again blown away by her work.
Thank you to dear Maya for gifting us with her talent.

some ok points, but no real substance

Revisado: 02-23-23

It's not awful but I couldn't finish it.
I couldn't get past if you are procrastinating just don't. Just do it.
Oh wow! How come nobody thought of this before?
It's not all bad, some interesting and smart ideas. I like that she advocates against thinking of yourself as a brand, which seems to be the general consensus these days. It makes sense.
But all in all, no real depth in it for me

What's the point of this book?

Revisado: 06-03-22

Mike is a really ok guy and I appreciate that he is open with his story but I really don't see a point in this book. Just listen to the podcast

Like listening to commercials

Revisado: 04-05-22

Narration is so off putting that I couldn’t finish the book. She is a professional but the style of narration is like a commercial or a good morning America segment with advice. It makes it sound very shallow. Lots of advice and problems is US specific and doesn’t apply to rest of the world

Wonderful

Most of what the author is saying won’t be news to anyone above the age of 35 but it is connected and written in such an insightful, wise and gentle way that you actually manage to hear it. And as most things that are true to the core it is at the same time liberating and heartbreaking.

Smart but not a good audiobook

Revisado: 08-17-21

I would say go with a print version or a kindle one for this one.
Both the format and the narration is just... grating on your ears. The book is good just not good to listen to.

Not quite there yet

I heard the interview with the author on Sounds True podcast and I immediately bought the book. I really wanted to like it. I believe the author has great intentions and I absolutely agree with the connection of our emotional and mental health and our finances. I just don’t feel that this book does a good job of helping you get to the root of your issues. Because it’s trying to cover both the financial side and psychological it ends up doing a very surface job at both. It should maybe pick one thing and go deeper on it.
Also, the narration is very stiff and slow which adds to the feeling of someone who is still not an expert at what they are doing. I am sure she will be in the future, and I will give other books a chance once she writes them but in the meantime this one is just a starter book.
Helpful if you are very very very new to both therapy and money.

Wonderful

Revisado: 04-12-21

I think this is super important to read for anyone doing anything. But like all true things in life, it’s simple but it’s not easy. This takes a certain kind of attitude and openness but a right one. Treating each other as humans, as complicated individuals that we all are.

Good first book

Revisado: 03-27-21

I really love his work, In and of itself is life changing.
The book is good but I think I maybe expected more... I feel like there is more to it too, that it was shaved off to leave material for a new book maybe or something.
Still a worthy read, just not something I have a need to read again.
