This review is from: Uncommon Wisdom: Achieve a Joyful Life and Your Financial Dreams (Hardcover)

I got this book for myself, but found myself sharing this with my teenage daughter and thought that the messages were truly inspiring for both of us.

One section that I especially liked and shared with my teenager repeatedly was about self love. I have not read many books on this subject but found it was written very well and that you have to love yourself in order to love and help others that you will be helping in the future.
