It was an accident and later I thought it was a mistake. This is how I remember it. I had finished the book that I was reading on my Kindle. Since it was a Netgalley book, I figured I should review it. But I did not feel like it. I’d just put it off for a few days and look for a new book.
Truth is that I enjoy reading books more than writing reviews. So the next book I picked was The Great Money Reset. Title sounded good but when I started reading it seemed to be about stuff I was not very interested in. I thought I should write to Netgalley that this book was not what I thought and I would neither finish it nor review it. It was probably my mistake in not reading the book description completely.
But I’d give it a few more pages before writing. So I read a bit more and decided I liked this book despite my initial reaction.
I thought this was a financial planning book for the general reader and maybe the reset in the title referred to making changes because changing economic conditions. So I started reading and saw that the focus was on people who wanted to make a big change (or reset) in their life. Often the change involved changing a career from something very financially rewarding to something more personally rewarding.
This did not seem to apply to me who is happily retired and pleased with how his career and personal life worked out. But despite my initial impression, I found a good book by accident. The financial advice was sound and much of it would apply to all of us. The stories of people making major changes in their lives were much more appropriate than my first impression. I found reading these stories interesting. So my thanks to Netgalley for giving me a chance to read this before it was published.
The book is The Great Money Reset: Change Your Work, Change Your Wealth, Change Your Life by Jill Schlesinger. I did enjoy her style of writing and recommend this book.
