Understand how your thinking drives your money behaviour to master your finances and make better financial decisions.
There is limitless financial information in our modern-day, connected world. We can find stats, facts, investing approaches, wealth creation hacks and new ways to wealth (think cryptocurrencies).
But leading economist and market analyst Evan Lucas believes we should cut out the external noise and look at ourselves first. What drives our behaviour and attitude to money?
This fascinating book explores the things people do to overcome their money habits and looks to instill tips on how we can make better money decisions just by acknowledging our own learned behaviours.
All too often we ignore logic and make decisions around money that we know aren’t entirely rational. That’s because money doesn’t just involve finances – it’s deeply tied up with our emotions, our learned behaviours, our biases and how we think.
We are all different in the way we use money: some of us are savers, some spenders, risk-takers, or investors. Mind over Money helps us understand our money personalities, our money cognition and why we do what we do. It then takes us through ways we can work with our strengths so that we meet our financial goals and live the lifestyle we desire.
Mind over Money is a life-changing read that will help clarify what you want from life and your money, so you can master your finances and improve your financial freedom.
About the Author

What he learnt from his early experiences is that investing habits, strategies and behaviours do not translate across families, generations, or peers.
This led him to become fascinated with behavioural finance throughout his career that has taken him to the Netherlands, the UK and back to Australia over a decade and a half. An experienced financial educator, his biggest learnings from his time working in markets, investing, and finance is that our individual behaviour towards money is always different and always changing.
