My 5 Favorite Books for Financial Abundance (And a Wealthy Mindset!)
Jul 14, 2024Money is not just a thing, its a mindset, a lifestyle, and a way of being. And if we’re honest, many of us didn’t grow up with all those set on millionaire autopilot. So let’s talk money, mindset, and some seriously powerful books that have shaped not only how I run my business, but also my entire relationship with wealth and abundance.
From a 60% raise at work, having a $20k day, and getting the condo of my dreams without planning- these books have changed my life.
If you're ready to ditch those limiting beliefs and level up your financial game, here are five of my all-time favorite reads (or audiobooks) that’ll get you thinking (and earning) in a whole new way:
The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles
This one's a classic for a reason! Wattles lays out a surprisingly simple philosophy for attracting wealth that goes beyond just "working hard." He taps into the idea that there's a science to abundance – a way of thinking and being that opens you up to receiving more.
Why I love it: This book got me my 60% raise at work within weeks of completing it.
It's a short, punchy read that's packed with powerful concepts. Wattles is no-nonsense in what he has to say and it’s all true! At first, it felt weird hearing his direct message of value but after completing the book my life changed. Plus, it cuts through a lot of the "hustle culture" noise and reminds you that attracting wealth is as much about your inner world as your outer actions.
This books been around for a while and with good reason. I've re-read it loads of times. I opted for the audio version and learned theres different readers based on teh version you get. One of the versions Idetest; the other is solid.
So if you go audio, sample your version before jumping in, but there is no denying that having Wattle’s voice in your head is the way to go with this read!

You Are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero
Jen Sincero is a business and life coach treasure and I’ve been in her group coaching programs twice. She is key when it comes to combining the mentality and action steps of financial success.
Her book You Are a Badass at Making Money is just as powerful, if not more impactful, than her New York Times Best Selling book You Are a Badass. I definitely like her money book more (I've read both multiple times).
In You are a Badass at Making Money, Sincero brings her signature wit and humor to the topic of money mindset and gives you practical starting points to getting your money mentality into high gear. She dives into the often-hidden beliefs and blocks that hold us back from truly embracing our financial potential and helps readers unlock the wealthy person within.
Why I love it: Sincero's writing is like having a hilarious (and slightly sassy) friend give you a pep talk. She'll help you identify your money "stuff" and give you the tools to shift it for good.
This book is great in both written and audiobook. Jen reads her own audiobooks and her comedy delivery is on point adding fun and laughs to the audio you wont get from the voices in your head.

Rich as F*ck by Amanda Frances
Amanda is my godsend between worlds of manifesting and getting sh!t done. I've been in three of her coaching programs now and it all started with this book.
In her book, Rich as F*ck, Amanda Frances gets readers to claim their worth and embrace their right to be wealthy. Frances, a money mindset coach, guides you through releasing shame around money and stepping into your power as a financial creator.
Why I love it: Frances is unapologetic, empowering, and helps you ditch the "playing small" mentality when it comes to money. She'll inspire you to dream bigger and own your financial goals- even th ebigger ones you didn't realize were in you.
I won’t lie, when I first heard Amanda’s voice in the audiobook I got dumb blonde Cali girl vibes, but after listening a bit I realized this Cali girl knows what the heck she is talking about! And if she can be a self-made multi-millionaire from a random town in Oklahoma anyone can be.
Rich as F*ck is a great read in both audio and written forms and Amanda throws in story updates in the audio version so you get more update info in the audio version.
Get Rick as F*ck:

Amazon link for Kindle and physical copy.
PS- I have gotten well beyond Amanda’s Cali girl voice and have been part of a number of her programs. Her work and approach are incredibly life-altering.
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
Another oldie but a classic and for very good reason. Napoleon Hill’s iconic work, Think and Grow Rich, explores the psychology of success and the principles that have helped countless individuals achieve their financial dreams.
While it was written in the 1930s, the principles remain timeless and relevant today and can be implemented by anyone no matter their background, education or income status.
Why I love it: It's a deep dive into the power of your thoughts and beliefs. Hill's emphasis on cultivating a positive, focused mindset is essential for achieving any goal, especially financial ones but he takes it into practicals of business life, giving readers more than just mindset ideas to implement.
Get Think and Grow Rich:
Amazon link for Kindle and physical copy.
I recommend reading The Science of Getting Rich before this one as the two create a powerful one-two financial mindset power punch.
The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
This book, and the accompanying film, brought the Law of Attraction into mainstream consciousness. While it's been both praised and criticized, there's no denying its power to shift your perspective on what's possible.
This book is about mindset and uplifting your emotional state more than practicalities, but it’s packed full of true stories that are easy to relate to.
Why I love it: Whether you fully embrace the Law of Attraction or not, The Secret is a reminder that your thoughts and emotions have a profound impact on what you attract into your life. The audio version is incredible because it gives voices to the recurring narratives, has background music and sound effects making the listener feel part of the journey.

What’s Your Top Wealth Pick?
I love love love some of these that all but one I had re-read more than 3x each! Some I have in my Audible libraries and rotate in and out of them for health doses of financial mindset alignment.
So which once will be YOUR new favorite?
Grab a cup of coffee (or your favorite beverage!), curl up with one of these amazing financial mindset books, and get ready to transform your relationship with money. Remember, financial success is about more than just the numbers – it's about aligning your inner world with your outer goals.
