The contents and lessons of this book should be taught in every high school in America. Before we begin building our practical relationship to money, we’d benefit from understanding our own personal and emotional relationship with money.

Gentle Money is a breath of fresh air. Every page guided me through my assumptions and feelings about my finances, and gently held my hand through all of it. Like many people, I have a lot of anxiety around money, so this book feels like having a close friend I can confide in who will share empowering wisdom with me, in just the way I need it.

I felt so held and supported as I read this book. It was as if every page had the message: “You don’t have to feel ashamed about your finances. It’s okay if you don’t know how to handle it. You can learn what you need to know. You can ask for help. It’s your money. It’s all up to you. And you can do this.” I’m coming away feeling relieved, grounded, and empowered.

I feel more compassion for myself and others reading this. I feel held and safe on this journey. I feel super empowered and supported! I already want to recommend this book to friends. It’s so supportive, compassionate, clear, and just…gentle!

As someone who tends to avoid money, I can truly say that this book brought up some long-rooted emotions from deep in my past – while also sharing a gentle way of holding that with myself and my relationship towards money as a result. I would bet big money that there is some such nugget of gentle wisdom in this book for whomever chooses to read it.

This is such a unique book filling a niche that is out there unfulfilled. I just think there are so many books out there which either feel like they are criticizing/chastising OR not my personal vibe (You Are a Badass at Making Money is one). This strikes a really good balance between being helpful and informative and normalizing where the reader is TODAY.
