My top 8 books on Money written by female authors




Have you noticed how many books on the topic of money have been written by men?
I had to look hard for women writers on that topic! But I am happy to report that I selected 8 of them, my favourites, which are directly related to money - and I read all of them! I also added 3 bonus ones, which are indirectly related to money.
They are not in any particular order in this list below ;-)

1.   Jen Sincero, "You are a badass at making money" (and while you're reading, get yourself the "You are a badass" too!). She is very witty and helps us look at our mindset and make the necessary changes so that we can get wealthy.


2.   Ann Wilson, "The Wealth Chef". Ann wrote her book as a cookbook. She explains principles very well and gives us the ingredients and the recipes for wealth.


3.   Denise Duffield-Thomas, "Get Rich Lucky Bitch". Denise's first book was Lucky Bitch, which I read quite a few years ago. Funny, down to earth, a very easy read. Denise has a Money Bootcamp course that she runs every year and which I followed (not an affiliate yet but I would love to!).



4.   Esther Hicks & Jerry Hicks (Abraham), "Money and the law of Attraction". You might argue that it's not written only by a woman ;-) but I even read this one twice! Simply because I think you can always get more insights from a 2nd read and particularly on Abraham's messages.



5.   Kate Northrup, "Money: A Love Story". This one was one of the first books I read about money. I joined a FB group at the time and started a book club on it. On top of having a very good look at my money story, I got girlfriends for life from that book club! Very good exercises, and easy to read. Please do the exercises if you want to see results!


6.   Barbara Stanny, "Overcoming Underearning". This one was advised by Kate Northrup, so I got it too! Fully packed with exercises and practical advice.

7.   Amanda Steinberg, "Worth it: Your Life, Your Money, Your terms". One of the last ones I read. Very focused on the American situation with a lot about 401K and IRAs, so I learned a lot on this topic, and I could still relate it to my situation in my country. This book is also packed with real life examples and advice.


8.   Vicki Robin, "Your money or your life" (written together with Joe Dominguez). This book was originally published in 1991 and has been fully revised and updated in 2018. The authors lay out a 9-step plan to achieve financial independence. Lots of homework and food for thought!


Bonus books:

9.   Marianne Cantwell, "Be a Free Range Human". I found it very easy to read, full of tips and exercises, case studies. This one not so much about the topic of money itself, but it focuses on finding what you want to do and how to get started with it.



10.        & 11.  Rhonda Byrne, "The Power" & "The Magic". I loved those 2 books as they made me feel really good while doing the exercises and applying what's in there!

     

Which ones have you already read? I would welcome any book suggestions that you have on this topic! Happy reading!

With love,
Madeleine
