Rewire for Wealth: Three Steps Any Woman Can Take to Program Her Brain for Financial Success
A groundbreaking program to help women create a habit of building wealth—from renowned financial therapist Barbara Huson (formerly Barbara Stanny)
The men in her life had always handled Barbara Huson’s First her father (the “R” of H&R Block), and then her husband, a stockbroker who turned out to be a compulsive gambler. When tax bills arrived for over $1m for his illegal deals, her ex left the country, her father refused to help, and Huson—who’d always been “scared and intimidated by money”—realized she had to grow up financially, fast.
Since that dramatic financial wake-up call, Huson has devoted herself to learning everything there is to know about women and money, and in Rewire for Wealth she goes to the very core of the disconnect between the According to multiple studies, women’s and men’s brains process information differently—and that has a profound effect when it comes to money. (Men, for example, view investing as a challenge; women see it as a threat.) Fortunately, you can “un-learn” previous bad lessons—and train your brain to process differently.
In Rewire for Wealth, Huson offers a proven and integrative approach to re-wiring your brain. Using the latest neuroscience, psychology, and mind-training techniques with original research that includes more than 20 years of hard-won financial expertise, she shows you how to quickly but methodically eliminate maladaptive financial behaviors, and expand your ability to build wealth.
By repeatedly applying a practical three-step formula—recognize, reframe, and respond differently—old brain circuits become weaker and new ones grow stronger, paving the way to a more confident approach to wealth building. You may never get a financial wake-up call as dramatic as Huson’s, but the real, positive, and life-changing power to take charge, now, is at your fingertips.

It was pretty good. Not very different from Overcoming Underearning. There were even very similar visualizations in both books. If I had to pick one of the two, I would pick Overcoming Underearning. This book still was a good read, and still gave me thinks to work on and improve.

REWIRE FOR WEALTH will now be on my short list of book recommendations for women who want to improve their money mindset and be wealthy. At first, I wasn't sure if I would like this book (not sure why), but I was hooked from page 1. The author's money story sucks you right in.
Barbara Huson teaches her readers a three-part process for rewiring your brain for wealth, based on the idea that we can change the pathways in our brain. Many of us have deeply rutted pathways, thanks to childhood experiences and trauma, which do not allow us to be wealthy.
The 3 Steps To Rewiring Your Brain:
1) Recognize
2) Reframe
3) Respond differently
Change the pathways, have more wealth.
In addition to teaching us to rewire our brain, Barbara teaches us how to HARDWIRE our brains, so that we fortify these new pathways that we just rewired.
The 3 Power Tools for Hardwiring Your Brain:
1) Resistance work
2) Reparenting
3) Repetition
I love how this book had questions and journal prompts (with space provided to write our answers), and my highlighter and pencil were busily notating all the yummy ideas from this book. I have already begun implementing the three rewiring steps, and they ARE making a difference! 😀
This is my first book by Barbara Huson, but it won't be my last!
If you are looking for doable money mindset practices, I highly recommend REWIRE FOR WEALTH. Such an important read for women!

“An exceptional wealth expert, Barbara Huson and leading-edge neuroscience hits it out of the park in “Rewire for Wealth”. Forward-looking neuroscience reprograms your mind for wealth beyond your wildest dreams. I love her approach to financial transformation and how she gently heals women’s struggles around money into stories of hope, transformation and financial freedom. She offers effective tools and insightful exercises and beautifully shares personal stories to educate and enlighten her readers. This is a must-read for any women in your life.”

This was amazing! It was so good that I literally had sticky tabs all over the book. I think I'll have to buy the e-book! At least it won't look as crazy as the physical copy with sticky tabs falling out of it. LOL
Personal Note: Buy more sticky tabs
This review is my honest opinion. I am NOT related to the author nor do I know them personally. I did NOT receive a free copy of this book in exchange for my review.

Good book, but I was hoping for more. In a way, I feel Barbra set ambitious goals for the book; to address wealth from a psychology, neurology, financial and spiritual point of view, but she ended up with an imbalanced book that at times came off as marketing for her Rewire Programme.
She covered the psychology and neurology aspects quite well- better than any other book I have read about financial wellness. The financial aspect was ok, but I could care less. The spiritual angle, however, was lacking, despite the author mentioning that it inspired her to write the book, and really, that’s the angle I was looking forward to the most and continue to look for in financial wellness books.

This is an important read for any woman wanting to confidently take control of her financial future. Bonus: The 3 Steps to programming your brain for financial success can be applied to any area of your life where you feel stuck! I read it in 2 sittings, then I went back and did all the exercises. This will go in my library of essential reading for my daughter.

So much of how we deal with money has to do with our emotions - and our personal history with all things financial. That's why Barbara Huson's book is so powerful. She takes readers by the hand and shows them how to shift their thinking about money so they can learn to use it like the tool it is. This book will be useful to women at any stage of life.

This book is not at all what you think! I thought this was just gonna be a cheesy how to get better at wealth, but this was a very thorough way that you have to look at the mentality of how you see wealth! Very well written, some very thought-provoking tips and advice, and definitely will be rereading!

There is no other way to describe this book and its contents but fully encompassing. If you’ve ever needed any sort of financial direction, this covers as much as you can possibly get without giving too much. It’s quite literally a beginner’s guide to everything financial and will start you on multiple paths to financial freedom.

Really enjoyed this one! I love reading about wealth, mindset, and neuroscience/behavior change, and this really hit the nail on the head for me and got me thinking about the way I view money and how I can change it to take better control of my finances.

SO, SO Good!!! As a Health and Wellness Coach who does a ton of work on neuroplasticity, this is exactly what I was looking for on developing a healthy money mindset!! It was really powerful for me and I can't wait to share the goodness with my clients too!

Not as revolutionary if you already read Overcoming Underearning, but still a good book!

Pretty good. It was kind of long at times, but I pulled through and overall found the tips helpful. If nothing else, it brought key-points to the top of my mind.
