Publisher Description
Bestselling author and financial expert Suze Orman helped millions of Americans turn toward their money and embark on a true path to wealth with her #1 bestseller The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom and her national bestseller You’ve Earned It, Don’t Lose It. Now she returns, with a book that goes beyond the fundamentals of her earlier work in challenging and inspiring us to realize our full financial potential, and to realize as well that the bottom line of life is comprised of much more than money. Practical, spiritual, and above all soundly financial, The Courage to Be Rich addresses the rites of passage we all must face—marriage, divorce, death; spending (and overspending) on life’s necessities and luxuries; taking control of our financial tomorrows today. From the business of love to buying a home; from imparting proper values to our children to defining our own self-worth; from starting over to staking a claim to our future, Orman shows us how to find the clarity, conviction, and courage to meet the obstacles and opportunities of a lifetime.  Expressing her deep belief that only when we truly learn to value and respect money in the most expansive sense will we be able to change our financial destiny, Orman demonstrates—through exercises, examples, and case studies—how to create a rich and abundant life, starting from what we have today. Finally, she takes on the seldom explored subject of money and grace—the rewards wealth bestows and the responsibilities if confers. There is no more persuasive, compelling, and honest a financial teacher today than Suze Orman. Building on the rock-solid foundation of her earlier lessons, The Courage to Be Rich is, in every sense, higher education on matters of vital importance to us all.

“An important book to help focus one’s thoughts about money – how you look at it, value it, what you let it do to and for you, or not. It suggests one confront every thought and emotion related to money and figure out from whence it came – and if those thoughts need changing, it offers some direction. The specifics are great, too – Suze goes over the details of mortgages, IRAs, bonds, annuities… She makes accessible some complicated or else overwhelming ideas, especially if you are new to them. I imagine most young adults would get some benefit from reading this or a book of similar nature. I want to explore a couple more of hers; I imagine they get derivative at some point, but she’s said enough good stuff here (and on her show, which is great) to keep the intrigue going.”
