5 books for manifesting money
Reading list for money manifestation
I’ve had to do A LOT of work on my money stories and beliefs in order to understand how money works and make it work for me and my family. It’s an ongoing process that I’m really starting to enjoy.
Since committing to manifesting a healthier relationship with money, I’ve noticed:
I’m not scared to talk about money anymore. In fact, I’m obsessed with it and wish people would talk about money more!
I’ve made some smart decisions around saving and investing that I’m (just quietly) quite proud of
I feel more grateful for the money we have, and treat it with more respect by spending according to my values
A decreased level of anxiety around money…because finally, I’m friends with it
Here are some of the books that have helped me to reframe my relationship with money and uplevel my unconscious programs around prosperity:
1. The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel
This book will teach you:
How your emotions, upbringing, and societal influences affect how you handle money
How to understand your own money mindset and biases in order to make smarter financial decisions
How your relationship with risk affects your finances
Why the long term matters more than the short term when it comes to money (Read: create a beautiful vision for your finances)
2. Dr John Demartini’s Ultimate Wealth Mastery by Dr John Demartini
This is one of the few books that I would genuinely call life changing. It took me three weeks to get through the audio version but it was worth every second. My key takeaways:
How to align wealth mastery with your authentic values. In my experience, this is the most important aspect of building wealth and Dr Martini is an expert on the subject of values and how to link them to prosperity
Mastering money management. I wish this could be avoided but it’s critically important and explained very well
Creating multiple streams of income. Fantastic ideas for using values and talents to create various income streams
The importance of investing in personal development and lifelong learning
How to overcome limiting beliefs. Dr Martini has a particular method for ‘balancing out’ limiting beliefs and reframing negative stories and emotions that is incredibly useful for more than just wealth building
Having a mindset of contribution and asking the question, “How can I use my unique values and talents to add value to other people’s lives?
3. The Richest Man in Babylon by George S Calson
Told in the form of a parable, The Richest Man in Babylon was written in 1926 and offers timeless wisdom on personal finance that has helped me to keep it simple. Here are my key takeaways:
Pay yourself first, which really translates as "‘prioritise savings’ before spending on other expenses and other people. It's like putting your financial future on autopilot.
Live below your means by practicing frugality and being mindful of your spending habits. A great reminder that we don’t need as much as we think we do
Make your money work for you by also prioritising investments, whether it's purchasing assets like real estate or investing in businesses
4. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
One of the best selling books of all time, this is one that never gets old. I’ve read it several times to remind me that we ALL have the power to manifest prosperity when we learn to manage the mind.
Here are a few key points:
A reminder of how powerful thoughts are when it comes to money and that, by cultivating a positive mental attitude and maintaining a clear vision of your goals, you can attract success and abundance into your life
Be clear and specific about money goals. Hill stresses that, when you know exactly what you want and are committed to pursuing it, you're more likely to take the necessary actions to make it happen
Mastering Auto-Suggestion: Hill introduces the concept of auto-suggestion, which involves feeding your subconscious mind with positive affirmations and beliefs. I agree with this with the caveat that we also need to integrate our shadow emotions around money in order to allow positive affirmations to take root
The Power of Persistence - setbacks and failures are inevitable on the path to success, but it's those who persevere and refuse to give up who ultimately achieve their goals
Take action to overcome fear and self doubt. It’s a great reminder that manifestation isn’t just about writing down your money goals and waiting to win lotto - you must also be willing to roll up your sleeves and put in the work required to turn your dreams into reality
5. Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
Another classic finance book that still holds its own. Here’s why I love Rich Dad Poor Dad:
Certainly! Here are five key takeaways from "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki in a conversational tone:
It encourages a focus on assets over liabilities and genuine wealth and freedom over consumerism and ‘stuff’
It teaches you to think like an entrepreneur rather than an employee, encouraging creativity and multiple streams of income.
It challenges conventional wisdom about money and success, urging readers to question societal norms and think outside the box
I’m going to keep growing my library of finance books so will be sure to update this list as I go. Please feel free to comment with any recommendations!
Manifesting money is fun and possible once you commit to educating yourself and changing your unconscious programs. This is something I work with clients on, so book a coaching session if you’re ready to see your vision of wealth come to fruition.
