The first thing I did when I finished reading this book was to set aside time to read it again. This is a truly outstanding book.
First some pros and cons, and yes, there are some drawbacks. You guessed it: this is not a "get rich" type book. It's not about making money and all that. Some people might classify it as "psychobabble" because it talks about your relationship with money and how it fits into your life. The primary focus of the book is to show just how much of our waking hours are dominated by working for a living and to show you how to get past that. After following some of the advice in the book, I found myself facing the realization that most of my waking hours are devoted to money. I didn't believe it at first, but after doing the exercises, I was pretty surprised.
To give you a taste, here is perhaps my favorite quote from the book:
"And they call this making a living? Think about it. How many people have you seen who are more alive at the end of the work day than they were at the beginning? Do we come home from our 'making a living' activity with more life? Do we bound through the door, refreshed and energized, ready for a great evening with the family? Where's all the life we supposedly made at work? For many of us, isn't the truth of it closer to 'making a dying'? Aren't we killing ourselves - our health, our relationships, our sense of joy and wonder - for our jobs? We are sacrificing our lives for money - but it's happening so slowly that we barely notice....After all, if we didn't work, what would we do with our time?"
I can't think of anyone who could not benefit at least somewhat from reading this book and really pondering the message.

This book has made a huge impact on my financial life. I also found it a very entertaining read.
The book attempts to help you honestly evaluate your relationship to money. It clearly describes the many issues around money's role in life (how much time you really spend to earn it, whether or not you achieve genuine satisfaction from how you spend it, how it flows into and out of your life, etc.), and it covers genuinely useful principles for getting the most out of your money. In this consciousness-raising way, the book attempts to steer you toward greater financial freedom.
The book is structered as a nine-step program. Unlike so many books on money, this book gives you clear instructions -- that is, it describes exactly what you have to do to achieve the desired results.
As with almost any book, some will find much of it just common sense, while for others it will come as a revalation. Either way, the book's presentation is fresh, sincere and profoundly human.

I am in my mid 30's and into serious financial planning. I found this book interesting, but a bit long. Also, I am pretty much in-control of my finances, so some of the suggestions were common sense to me.
However, if you are a person who lives check-to-check and is looking for a way to get out of the earn-and-spend spiral, I'd highly recommend this book or 'The Mindful Money Guide'.
If you are looking for a nuts-n-bolts book on managing your finances, there are better books. If you are interested in exploring your relationship to money and what 'enough' is in your life, then you'll find this book worth a read.

This is a must-read for anyone trying to overcome money problems. It has a tremendous explanation of the emotional and psychological reasons behind why we spend money. My wife and I are sometimes asked by others for financial advice - this is the first book I reccomend they read.

This book has literally changed my life by changing my relationship to money. Without getting into all the gory details, let's just say that it's a "good" thing I had bad credit in my spendthrift college days which prevented me from obtaining credit cards with big credit lines. Who knows how much debt I would have today - I shudder to think about it. Because of this book and my new attitude towards money, I am joyfully debt-free and what I used to give to Visa and Nordstroms is now sitting in a growing collection of mutual funds. At my current rate of savings I will be financially independent by age 40. Not a bad transformation for someone who used to "shop 'til I dropped" at Nordstroms. When I finally made the connection between my precious life-energy and the amount of money I wasted, it was like seeing the light - hallelujiah.

You don't have to be a tree hugger to benefit from the approach in this book. The savings the authors recommend can come from lots of different places: housing, clothes, travel, food, entertainment, having or not having kids, depending on where you start and what is important to you. You might decide that you like living on rice and beans but have to go on a cruise every year. You might go to restaurants a lot, but bike instead of driving and live in a tiny house. In fact, you could decide that you like being a money-hungry yuppie just fine, and increase your consumption instead of cutting it. Or you might ditch your idealistic, low-paying job and get a higher-stress, higher-paying one to reach your goal of financial independence. The good thing is, the book offers a step-by-step plan to help you decide. Even if you like working and are not aiming for early retirement, you can still use the exercises in the book to prioritize spending and savings.
The weakness of the book is that the authors show their own biases too much. The ultimate goal in their view is to move from the city to a small town, quit working for pay entirely, and do volunteer work instead. This is not everybody's cup of tea, and some of the penny-pinching suggestions in the book (having potlucks instead of dinner parties, spending your vacation in your own hard-earned home, buying food in bulk) may seem tacky and depressing. Don't be put off, though: you can still benefit from the financial plan they describe even if you don't share their preferences and goals.
