Investing Book for the Socially Conscious

This is a great book for socially conscious investors. The book discusses our relationship with money and various ways we can learn to invest more socially conscious.

It highlights different investments as well as asset allocation tips. This book can positively change the relationship you have with money.

Hit the Perfect Chord

I loved The Mindful Money Guide. It's humor, economy, and wisdom were a delight. I appreciated how the book synthesized the best of the alternative financial books, while still being fresh and original. Do note in some ways the book is subtle, it's not intended for those looking to get rich fast or retire young. Rather it's aim is to help the reader find financial security (both fiscal and psychological) and meaningful work without becoming obsessed with money or neglecting their social conscience. It's about balance. Since that's what I was looking for, the book struck a chord in me. And unlike so many other financial guides, it's fun to read. I've been heartily recommending it to my friends--and getting good feedback from any who've read it.

Good Even for Non-Financial Sorts

This book was a very pleasant surprise. I'm not the type to read financial books, but The Mindful Money Guide was both interesting and fun to read. It's a nice mix of good practical advice, supported by an undercurrent of wisdom. Two thumbs up!

Great Book; Great Advice

The Mindful Money Guide is a wonderful book. It's clear, funny, and wise. In the tradition of Andrew Tobias's The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need, the financial advice makes good practical sense and you're happy to read it--sometimes even laughing out loud. The biggest differences between this and Tobias' book is The Mindful Money Guide has a social conscience, it brings more awareness of the nonfinancial issues that create a sense of well-being, and it's more comprehensive. Read it and pass the word.
