This book is not your typical finance book preaching about saving every penny or chasing after quick riches. Instead, it's a heartfelt journey through the author's own experiences, from humble beginnings to entrepreneurial success. I found Steve's candid storytelling refreshing and relatable. His practical strategies for shifting mindsets and managing financial stress resonated with me on a personal level. It's more than just about money; it's about finding fulfillment and abundance in all aspects of life. Whether you're drowning in debt or just seeking a fresh perspective on wealth, this book offers valuable insights and actionable advice. Highly recommend giving it a read—it might just change your outlook on money and life.

Financial advice with some psychology mixed in
I’m not one to highlight or mark pages but this book did it for me. Coming from a psychological standpoint to improve your financial relationship is not something I’ve seen in many books of the same genre. Definitely took some things to heart to make some changes in my own life.

I found the first half of this book to be great. Lots of good and practical financial advice, which is what I was expecting. The second half was more general lifebadvoce, which I wasn't expecting and which felt a bit preachy. I received an advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Reframing Rich: Creating a Better Relationship with Your Money, Yourself, and Others is an insightful, practical, and refreshingly compassionate guide that challenges conventional ideas about wealth and financial success. Rather than focusing on shortcuts to riches, Steve Coughran and Jessica Meehan encourage readers to develop a healthier relationship with money by reshaping the beliefs, habits, and emotional patterns that influence financial decisions. The result is an empowering book that combines personal growth with practical financial wisdom.
At the heart of the book is the idea that financial well-being begins with mindset. Coughran demonstrates that many people's financial challenges are rooted not only in numbers but also in deeply held beliefs about money, success, self-worth, and abundance. By helping readers identify and replace limiting perspectives, the book offers a thoughtful roadmap toward greater confidence, resilience, and long-term financial wellness.
One of the book's greatest strengths is Steve Coughran's willingness to share his own journey. From growing up in a low-income household to navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship and eventually becoming a successful business leader, his experiences provide authenticity and credibility to the lessons presented throughout the book. His story serves as both inspiration and evidence that financial transformation is possible through persistence, education, and intentional change.
The authors also excel at making financial concepts approachable and engaging. Rather than overwhelming readers with technical language or complex investment strategies, they present practical advice in a clear, conversational style that makes finance feel accessible regardless of a reader's background or level of experience. This welcoming approach encourages readers to engage with their finances without fear or intimidation.
Another notable strength is the book's emphasis on the emotional side of money. Coughran and Meehan thoughtfully explore topics such as financial anxiety, limiting beliefs, personal relationships, and self-worth, demonstrating how emotional well-being and financial health are deeply interconnected. This broader perspective elevates the book beyond traditional personal finance guides by recognizing that lasting financial success requires both practical knowledge and emotional growth.
Throughout the book, readers are presented with actionable strategies that can be implemented immediately. Whether learning to overcome debt, improve financial habits, develop healthier spending behaviors, or redefine personal success, the guidance remains practical, realistic, and focused on sustainable progress rather than unrealistic promises.
Perhaps the book's most valuable contribution is its redefinition of what it truly means to be "rich." Rather than measuring wealth solely by financial accumulation, the authors encourage readers to pursue a more balanced life where financial stability supports stronger relationships, greater purpose, personal fulfillment, and lasting well-being. This holistic approach makes the book both inspiring and deeply relevant.
Encouraging, accessible, and filled with practical wisdom, Reframing Rich: Creating a Better Relationship with Your Money, Yourself, and Others is an excellent resource for anyone seeking to improve both their financial future and their relationship with money. Steve Coughran and Jessica Meehan have created a valuable guide that will resonate with readers interested in personal finance, mindset development, entrepreneurship, and long-term personal growth.

Reframing Rich is a thought-provoking and refreshing exploration of what it truly means to be wealthy. Rather than defining success solely by financial accumulation, Steve Coughran challenges readers to adopt a broader, more intentional perspective on prosperity, one that integrates purpose, fulfillment, relationships, leadership, and financial well-being. Drawing on his experience in business strategy and executive leadership, Coughran offers a compelling framework for building a life that is rich not only in assets but also in meaning.
What immediately stood out to me was the book's challenge to conventional definitions of wealth. Instead of encouraging readers to chase money as the ultimate measure of success, Coughran demonstrates that lasting prosperity comes from aligning financial achievement with personal values, intentional decision-making, and long-term purpose. This shift in perspective makes the book resonate on both a professional and personal level.
One of the book's greatest strengths is its balance between strategic thinking and practical application. Coughran combines timeless principles of leadership, financial stewardship, and personal development with actionable insights that readers can implement in both their careers and everyday lives. His guidance encourages thoughtful decision-making while helping readers build sustainable success rather than pursuing short-term gains.
Another compelling aspect is the emphasis on intentional living. Throughout the book, Coughran reminds readers that genuine wealth extends beyond income or net worth, it includes the quality of our relationships, the impact of our leadership, and the fulfillment we experience through meaningful work. This holistic approach offers a powerful alternative to the traditional pursuit of success and encourages readers to redefine prosperity on their own terms.
What stays with the reader long after finishing the book is the realization that true wealth is created through purpose, wisdom, and intentional action. Reframing Rich is an inspiring and practical resource for entrepreneurs, executives, professionals, business leaders, and anyone seeking to build a life that is financially successful while remaining deeply meaningful.

I won this book in a giveaway, so I feel obligated to read it and leave a review. So thank you publishers for giving me this book.
My parents want me to read more nonfiction books (and preferably one that I can learn something from), so when I saw this book, it seemed to fit right into their collection of ebooks and audiobooks that they would listen to on their way to work or just lounging around the house. I'll preface that they are both financial folks, so this book would already appeal to them.
So what about folks like myself, who don't typically read nonfiction and self-help books?
Well, it was alright. Prose-wise, we're not getting Confucian-level advice, but it is clear and concise. I'll note that the author is religious of the Christian variety, so know that the author implores you to trust that God will help you get money if you manifest it.
And this is irrelevant, but someone does have to point out the slight irony in that.
The content itself was fine, too. It can come across as a little "pull by your bootstraps" to some degree, as the author advises one to rich in other departments before being financially rich. And that's fine and all, but that might take some readers away. The advice is pretty straightforward, with some of the author's own anecdotes here and there, but nothing so different that a passing finance-savvy person wouldn't say.
I personally do not believe that I am the target demographic of this book, so take my review with a grain of salt.
This is no Rich Dad, Poor Dad, but that author is what, bankrupt(?) at the time of writing this review, so hey maybe this author knows something the others don't.
Overall, 3.5 / 5 stars. Rounded up for Goodreads.

Life is more than just about money.
When people think about being rich they focus on money. Money does not buy you happiness, health, safety, family, or true friends. This book asks some difficult questions for you to ask yourself. When you really start to think about your life's journey, you begin to see you are living in your comfort zone. By breaking out of your comfort zone means to truly live by having new experiences. For me this book gave me the opportunity to learn where I need to make changes in my life. The author shows you through their journey how they made changes that benefited their life. This made them the person they are today.

This was a Goodreads giveaway win of a Kindle ebook.
Little if any math here. Much more about the meaning of wealth. How should you approach discovering what makes you truly wealthy? I can's say I learned much new about myself. I assume that means I have a healthy approach to what I value to make myself happy. I would hope that it would provide a bit greater emphasis (especially for the young) to grow some wealthy habits so they can in turn be in a better position to achieve larger goals.
This was a GoodReads.

This book gives a very interesting perspective by talking about the psychology side of money. If that is something you’re interested in, I would definitely recommend this book. The financial concepts expressed were a bit elementary, and I think that goes well for the target audience of this book.

An honest, thoughtful, and holistic view of financial and general well-being. This was helpful, but not self-defeating; honest, but kind.
