THE FINANCIAL WELLBEING BOOK
Ignore the advice you find in books.
That’s not to say you won’t find good advice in a book, but how do you know which advice is right for you?
The Financial Wellbeing Book is full of advice with a twist. To structure your finances in a way that suits you, you need to understand what you want from your future – and that’s a lot harder than you might think.
To achieve financial wellbeing that is right for you, you need to decide what you want from your future. The Financial Wellbeing Book is all about recognising what you want to achieve, and planning how to get there.
- Understand your motivation
- Define your goals
- See your challenges clearly
- Take control of today
- Plan for the future
The book takes you through the five aspects of financial wellbeing, liberally sprinkled with tips and anecdotes. It is concise and action driven, even giving space for writing your notes at the end of each section.
THE CHARITY
Penny Brohn helps people focus on each area of their lives, and make small but significant changes to bring them into balance. Building resilience in this way supports our immune systems and the body’s natural capacity to protect against cancer.
The author is donating his proceeds from this book to Penny Brohn UK.

THE BOOK REVIEWS
What a wonderful little book. So easy and enjoyable to read, so carefully plotted and well thought-out.I followed the author’s advice, read it all the way through to the end and then returned to the beginning to start the tasks. Incredibly, I genuinely did this (first time for me with a self-help book I’ve actually dug out pen and paper), with surprising results.
Two aspects of the book I particularly liked. First, the focus on placing your life goals ahead of your financial ones. This drew me into a book that, if I’m honest, I might not have read otherwise. And second, the tone. Not preachy or teachery. More like a good friend trying to help you out. Which he does.
Despite being in my mid-forties I’m still a bit shaky on finances. Like so many people, I simply prefer not to think about it rather than face up to something I don’t understand or don’t want to hear. The book has given me the confidence to look at the numbers and actually do something about it.
I wish I’d read it when I was 20. And I’ll certainly try to get my kids to read it in their late teens.
Highly recommended.
I really enjoyed your book, I particularly like the real people examples and use of stats, and the format
