Good Money

Do more with your money. Use it to flourish.

Traditional personal finance books mostly accept the same goals for all people: make as much money as possible, fund a college education for your kids, save for retirement. These books mechanistically advise readers to budget, take out a mortgage, open savings vehicles, and so on-without much thought as to who we are as individuals.

But is that all? Will that formula make people happy?

To achieve a more meaningful life, one must address the role that money plays in it. In this book, investor, author, and speaker John Coleman offers a new mindset around personal finance, one that puts purpose at its core. It provides a six-part framework for using money properly to lead a financial life of flourishing:

Change how you think about money. Choose a job that earns with purpose. Spend and consume wisely. Use your means to help others. Invest for maximum impact. Save for freedom, not retirement.

Using firsthand interviews and examples, Good Money walks through each of these steps, providing helpful-and sometimes counterintuitive-advice on how to use your wealth to flourish and find greater meaning, now and long into the future.
