It’s a time for celebrating and giving thanks. Thank you for reading my blog. I love sharing my ideas with you. We live in an amazing time where I can connect with you no matter where you are in the world. To show my appreciation, I am giving away a book bundle of some of my favorite books!
The theme for this bundle is habits. Financial health, like physical health, is the result of the right habits consistently applied over time. Going to the gym one time and working out like a maniac won’t get you to your physical goals. It’s what you do everyday that really matters. The same is true of your financial health. So the giveaway bundle starts with 3 of the best books I have read about habits.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit. – Will Durant
The compounding of effect of habits is the real power. Develop a small habit, performed consistently over long periods of time, creates exponential growth. Financial health is a building process. We like to think there is a magic formula, or a lottery we can win that will give us the financial stability we seek. But it is the simple decisions and actions applied consistently that matter most.
This book picks up where The Slight Edge leaves off. It helps you understand your habits. How do habits form? How do we break them? How do we build better ones. It digs into the science to help us understand how habits work.
Gretchen Rubin digs into some of the more perplexing issues about forming habits. Most of us have tried to make new habits or break old ones and failed. Why are some people successful in this process and others not? This well researched book will shed some light on these questions. What she has discovered is that first we must know ourselves. One size doesn’t fit all. There isn’t one strategy that works for everyone. This book will help you discover a better way to approach YOUR habit formation.
But what habits should we be building?
What is the difference in the habits of the financially healthy vs. the financially fragile? That is what the next 3 books in the bundle will help you figure out.

Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver. – Ayn Rand
