About This Audiobook

Mind over Money cuts through the noise of traditional personal finance advice by treating money not as a numbers problem, but as a psychological one. Brad Klontz, a clinical psychologist and financial planner, draws from years of clinical work to expose how deeply ingrained money beliefs—often formed in childhood—dictate our spending, saving, and relationship conflicts. What sets this audiobook apart is its blend of candid case studies, behavioral science, and actionable exercises, all anchored in real emotional terrain. This isn’t about budgeting apps or stock picks; it’s about uncovering the hidden scripts that make us self-sabotage, whether through compulsive shopping, financial avoidance, or money shame. As the narrator, Klontz delivers his own writing with a grounded, empathetic tone that feels more like therapy than lecture. His voice carries both authority and warmth, making heavy emotional topics digestible without oversimplifying them. The audiobook’s structure allows for reflection, with guided pauses and prompts that work especially well in audio format. Ideal for those who’ve tried financial advice that ‘should’ work but doesn’t, Mind over Money offers a refreshingly human take on why we act against our best interests—and how to finally change the script.

Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

Listening to Brad Klontz narrate his own work adds a layer of intimacy that elevates this audiobook. You can hear the compassion in his voice when he describes clients’ struggles—like the woman who hid $30,000 in credit card debt from her husband, or the man who equated net worth with self-worth. His pacing is deliberate, giving space for the ideas to land, and the production is clean, with subtle cues that signal transitions between concepts and exercises. I appreciated how he wove psychological frameworks like 'money disorders' and 'money scripts' into relatable stories, making complex ideas accessible without dumbing them down. That said, the middle section drags slightly, with a few case studies feeling repetitive. And while the self-assessment tools are valuable, they’re harder to engage with on audio—you’ll likely want a journal handy. Still, the raw honesty and clinical insight make this stand out from the typical finance title. It’s rare to find a book that treats financial health as emotional health, and Klontz does it with both precision and heart.
