Synopsis
This is not a book. It’s a conversation grenade.
Pull the pin. Toss it on the coffee table and watch the conversations break out.
Because:
Money isn’t math—it’s emotion.
Budgeting isn’t punishment—it’s awareness.
If you think more will finally make you feel safe, it won’t.
Through 101 simple sketches and essays, Carl Richards invites you to rethink your relationship with money—not by fixing it, but by seeing it clearly.
This isn’t financial pornography, no market predictions, no hot takes, or spreadsheets. Think of it as a conversation with a wise friend, who gently forces you to consider:
Why do we compare ourselves to people we don’t even like?
What are you actually trying to buy when you say you want more?
What if the problem isn’t your money, but the job you’ve given it?
This book is meant to provoke you into seeing money—and yourself—differently.
This isn’t about being good with money. It’s about being honest with yourself.
