Money isn't just a tool to pay for needs and wants, it's a repository for a host of emotions including shame, doubt, and fear. Getting a handle on out-of-control spending, mounting debt, and other unhealthy ways of managing finances means first identifying the internal barriers to financial freedom. . . . In a time of finance bro podcasters shouting about fiscal domination, [Reynal] offers kinder, gentler advice that's focused on banishing self-blame and setting human-size goals.-- "Publisher's Weekly"
