This is my second Barbara Stanny read. I guess you could say I am becoming a fan of her work.
When I read the title, I asked myself if I too might be an underearner as my whole adult career has been spent in the public sector with its designated pay bands assigned to each employee classification. I suspected I was so I felt I could probably benefit from the author’s five step plan to a richer life. While the author writes primarily to benefit women, I suspected that anyone who read the book could benefit from it, so long as they took the actions suggested within it.
Based on what she was learning from her research of six figure women, the author began leading Overcoming Underearning workshops. This book grew out of those initial workshops. As a result, this book is full of exercises, quizzes and opportunities for self-discovery and practice. If you do these, I believe this book can have a real impact on your life.
This is an excellent, well written, engaging book. Because of the interactive nature of the book, I would recommend you buy the paper, as opposed to, the electronic version, so you can take full advantage of the interactivity offered.
I particularly liked the author’s focus on the need to address the mindset or mental aspects associated with living a “richer” life. As the author noted, her own beliefs were holding her back.
Read this book. Do the exercises. Don’t let your beliefs hold you back from living the good life.

Do every single exercise with all your attention and heart in this book!
This book was recommended by my spiritual mentor/life coach. She's recommended this book earlier on in our sessions (last year), but you know how everything works - the teacher shows up when we are ready. I was ready to take the SCARY GIANT LEAPS to make my relationship to money healthy. From doing every single exercises in this book (the photo shows how I organized each of them in my Notion notebook), I uncovered SO MUCH nasty stuff from my childhood which all attributed to my very unhealthy relationship with money. It was one of the most healing experience. Healing is self-love, and I urge every single person out there heal. I am 75% way through, and maybe one day I will be able to teach money in public schools and have my own money coaching program to educate the younger citizens of our country. Financial education is very much needed!First, I need to be coached to become an effective coach, lol! I'm not there yet. If it's meant to be, the Universe will show me the way.
