Your Money: Reimagining Wealth in 101 Simple Sketches - Paperback

by Carl Richards (Author)

This is not a book. It's a conversation grenade.

Pull the pin. Toss it on the coffee table and watch the conversations break out.

Because:
- Money isn't math--it's emotion.
- Budgeting isn't punishment--it's awareness.
- If you think more will finally make you feel safe, it won't.

Through 101 simple sketches and essays, Carl Richards invites you to rethink your relationship with money--not by fixing it, but by seeing it clearly.

This isn't financial pornography, no market predictions, no hot takes, or spreadsheets. Think of it as a conversation with a wise friend, who gently forces you to consider:

- Why do we compare ourselves to people we don't even like?
- What are you actually trying to buy when you say you want more?
- What if the problem isn't your money, but the job you've given it?

Your Money is meant to provoke you into seeing money--and yourself--differently.
​​​​​​​
This isn't about being good with money. It's about being honest with yourself.
