“Here’s the book every woman (and most men) need: a clear,
thoughtful, and beautifully written guide for how to cope with the
myriad emotions caused by money. Kate Levinson shows how money is
both mercilessly public and intimately personal, stirring up our
deepest feelings about independence, status, attractiveness, and
the terrifying confusion between net worth and self worth.
—Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor, author of Aftershock: The
Next Economy and America’s Future, Chancellor’s Professor of Public
Policy, University of California, Berkeley
“This is not just the best book about women and money that I have
ever read, it is the best book about money—beautifully written,
wise, accessible, practical, and profoundly healing. I wish Kate
had been my mother. Or my big sister. It would have changed my
whole life. Don’t make another decision about money until you’ve
read it. Then read it again.”
—Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, author of Kitchen Table Wisdom
“Kate Levinson’s book shows how money permeates every nook and
cranny of our inner mental and emotional world. Although written
especially for women, it offers a warm, guiding hand to anyone
seeking a healthy relationship to money and everything money
touches.”
—Jacob Needleman, author of Money and the Meaning of Life
“Finally! A beautifully written, straightforward guide for women to
better understand the opportunities, choices, and challenges of
money. Reading Emotional Currency evoked many of my own emotional
memories about money.”
—Frances McDormand, actor
