Publisher's summary

An NPR "Best Books of 2023" Pick

A leading financial expert breaks down the personal, cultural, and societal forces that have led us to falsely believe we can never have, do, or be enough, and shows us a fresh new path toward “MoneyZen”—her joy-based approach to living a life rich in financial health and emotional wealth.

For anyone who has ever felt that they can never measure up, MoneyZen is your cure.

No matter your age, income, or profession, it’s all too easy to fall prey to the false belief that the amount of money you earn, or accomplishments you achieve, or praise you receive is just Never Enough. In MoneyZen, financial industry veteran Manisha Thakor candidly shares how she overcame toxic behaviors around work, money, and prestige that had threatened her relationships, her health, and her career, told alongside the inspiring stories of individuals from all walks of life who reveal their own struggles with “Never Enough.”

Through Thakor’s interviews with a wide range of interdisciplinary experts, you’ll learn how personal traumas, cultural influences, societal pressures, and even our own biology have conspired to make us believe that “more” is the answer to all our problems. And you’ll discover a unique way to reclaim your life using a formula that’s ultimately rooted in less: Financial Health + Emotional Wealth = MoneyZen.

The result is a powerful, research-based framework for getting off the hamster wheel of 24/7 striving so you can start to live a life fueled by authentic joy, connection, and meaning.

Great read for those exploring "enough"

I am a CFP and have been exploring personal finance, behavioral finance and concepts like "what is enough?" for many years. Manisha did an amazing job telling her story, which we can all relate to, of becoming a workaholic and how that impacted her life. She was willing to share how her childhood shaped who she became as an adult and where that can present some trouble as we get older.

She also did a great job of helping us understand the world we live in today and how "counterfeit financial culture" can keep us feeling like we aren't doing enough and never have enough.

She closes with actionable steps we can take to get ourselves out the predicament and get ourselves on the right track towards a better relationship with work and money.

If you feel like you aren't "doing enough" or "don't have enough", I highly recommend.

A must read for life

I can’t say enough on how this book has helped me. I have so much in common with the Author and felt like this book was written just for me. Easy to understand steps to enjoy life, stop the hamster wheel of not having enough and enjoying more in life.

Zen. Just like the title says!
