This is an exceptionally good book, really
I'd never heard of Rob Moore prior to reading Money - Know More, Make More, Give More. The book came up as recommended by Amazon based on something I'd recently bought. Since initially buying the Audible book in April 2018, I've purchased three paperbacks for friends/family and one for myself. And I've re-listened to the Audible book. Rob's book has been nothing short of transformative for me and my husband.Husband - PhD in Economics from a top Uni. After his family experienced difficult money problems when my husband was a teenager, his relationship with money has always been complex. He's made a lot, but never enough to assure him that he didn't have to worry. He felt guilty when he had extra yet was hesitant to give any away (including to charities, as tips, etc.) Let's just say he always managed his money VERY carefully, but still was never happy/relaxed that he was in a good place, despite saving an impressive amount.Me - since age 13 when I started babysitting, then waiting on tables to earn money through Uni, I've always had a "spend it while you have it" attitude. Apart from a sizeable private pension that (thankfully) my mum urged me to invest in in my early 20s, I've never saved a penny.In 15 years of marriage, we've had our share of spats and disputes - no more or less than the average couple, I think. And the one thing at the root of every single one of these disagreements - money. Looking back through the years, I'm sure each of us felt like we were "right". Husband trying to keep the money in the bank, invest wisely for a rainy day and me trying to "live for the moment" and be over generous with charities and homeless people and stray cats... (you name it) while severely undercharging for my consulting services and not bringing in my share of the income.This book has given us so much. It offers a stunning combination of history money and wealth, mechanics of money and the philosophy/psychology of poverty vs. wealth. It has pointed out that both of us have so much to learn about money. As Rob points out, learning to make a lot of money is a bit like learning to play golf, or a piano.. or to do anything that requires skill; learn from the people you respect the most, take risks and practice. But more fundamental than that, Rob urges the reader to understand his/her purpose in life; what do you have to offer that makes you unique in the world and that few, if any, could do better. And then he asks us to master that skill and charge what we're worth, and no less! "Fair Exchange" is a concept that Rob uses throughout the book in his urging to get people to stop underselling themselves.But the book is so much more than that. It really offers a complete set of practical knowledge paired with ideas and tools to support wealth creation. Whether you want to tweak an already good relationship with money or whether you need an entire overhaul, this book has content that will have you considering and reconsidering how you see money.This book has fundamentally changed both me and my husband as individuals. It offers a common vocabulary for us to share when we talk about how we've hindered ourselves (and our marriage) in the past through our ignorance of money matters. Both of us have made dramatic changes in how we view and treat money - moving us each toward a healthy middle ground. Since reading this book two months ago, we have not had a single argument. Not one. It's like this book has equipped us with a new lens with which to view everything - projects, investments, bank accounts, whether to tip a waiter, everything. We are super excited as we apply Rob's concepts to our personal and business affairs. So far, very good!!I'm only hoping that Rob soon decides to write a verison of this book for parents to help bring some of these concepts into raising the next generation. And I hope he gets involved in a charity/cause to see that teenagers and young adults receive some of this guidance in school. So many lives would be dramatically improved if we could instil healthy money views and habits in people early in life.

Moore's fresh perspective
Book Review: Money by Rob MooreRating: ★★★★★Rob Moore's Money is an outstanding exploration of the principles of wealth and the psychology of financial success. This book doesn't just offer practical advice on managing money but also challenges readers to transform their mindset about wealth and self-worth.Before reading Money, I realized I had been approaching financial matters entirely the wrong way. Like many others, I unconsciously believed that I didn't deserve wealth. Rob Moore dismantles these limiting beliefs with clarity and insight, guiding readers towards a healthier and more empowered perspective on money.One of the book's strengths is its relatable narrative. Moore's personal anecdotes, especially those from his childhood and the obstacles he has overcome, bring a unique and engaging dimension to the content. His sense of humour lightens the heavy subject matter, making complex ideas more accessible and memorable. The information he shares is practical, thought-provoking, and sticks with you because of the way he presents it.Moore's fresh perspective and his knack for presenting alternative ways of thinking about money and life make this book a must-read. It's not just about learning financial strategies; it's about reshaping your relationship with money and realizing your potential to achieve financial freedom.I'm excited about applying these lessons and looking forward to a prosperous future. Thank you, Rob Moore, for your insightful and transformative take on a challenging topic.— Liberty Jane Brown

Practical but overlooking society aspects
This is a very practical, accessible and comprehensive guide on how to approach money and understanding some mechanisms. While I found it insightful, I did struggle to agree on some approaches and how the author was generally overlooking some societal structures, particularly around poverty. So, the underlying assumption: "we are all free and everybody can become reach or poor. If they are in poverty it's their fault" was quite hard to accept. I understand the "motivational" side of the book but I felt the perspective of the white privileged British man in here. So I don't think this would be relatable for some communities that have been historically faced barriers to access work, savings, investments. This should have been at least acknowledged.
