Achieve financial peace of mind with the million-copy #1 New York Times bestseller, now revised and updated for 2018, featuring an entirely new Financial Empowerment Plan and a bonus chapter on investing.
The time has never been more right for women to take control of their finances. The lessons, revelations, and shocks of the past few years have made it clear that standing in our truth is the only way to care for ourselves, our families, and our finances.
With her signature mix of insight, compassion, and practical advice, Suze equips women with the financial knowledge and emotional awareness to overcome the blocks that have kept them from acting in the best interest of their money—and themselves. Whether you are single or in a committed relationship, a successful professional, a worker struggling to make ends meet, a stay-at-home parent, or a creative soul, Suze offers the possibility of living a life of true wealth, a life in which you own the power to control your destiny.
At the center of this fully revised and updated edition, Suze presents an all-new Financial Empowerment Plan, designed to get you to a place of emotional and financial security as quickly as possible—because the most precious commodity women have is time. Divided into four essential components, the plan will teach you how to
• Protect yourself
• Spend smart
• Build your future
• Give to others
Also included is a bonus chapter on investing—for those who are living by Suze’s unbreakable financial ground rules and ready to learn how to invest with confidence.
Women & Money speaks to every mother, daughter, grandmother, sister, and wife. It gives listeners the opportunity to tap into Suze’s unique spirit, people-first wisdom, and unparalleled appreciation that for women, money itself is not the end goal. It’s the means to living a full and meaningful life.

      Financial guru Orman's latest book exhorts women to control their own financial destinies; she tells women to "give TO yourself as much as you give OF yourself." Though women earn half of household income, 90% are insecure or uninformed financially. Narrator Susan Denaker enters fully into Orman's spirit as she provokes (why don't people mention money when talking about happiness?), challenges (if you say you'd do anything for your family, why don't you have life insurance?), and warns (take responsibility for your financial destiny or else!). Part inspiration (hear Orman's rags-to-riches tale), part prescription (a monthly plan helps get your finances in order), this book is always provocative and often eye-opening for its intended audience.

      Knowledge and thoughtfulness underlie this five-step lesson from the veteran financial author: Get your banking and spending under control, get your credit cards and credit rating in shape, invest for retirement, organize your financial records, and protect yourself and your belongings with insurance. Orman's advice is immensely practical because she uses concrete images like paper money, bank statements, and file boxes, instead of abstractions and convoluted strategies. Less urgent and emotionally wired than on her TV show, Orman sounds authoritative and reassuring. Buying the audio allows admission to her Web site, which has resources to help listeners complete the plan. This is an activist approach that doesn't overlook the internal reasons that some women overspend or stay blind to their long-term financial security. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

      Bestselling author (2005's The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke
      , etc.) and host of her own CNBC show, Orman encourages women to "give to
      yourself as much as you give of
      yourself" in her ninth financial advice book, sure to resonate with legions of readers who will appreciate her straightforward advice and supportive tone. Aiming squarely for a female audience, Orman guides readers through the very basics of finances. She explores why women have dysfunctional relationships with money and notes the ways they undervalue themselves or "treat themselves as a commodity whose price is set by others," while also sharing the story of her own evolving relationship with her finances. Though her explanation of the "8 qualities of a wealthy woman" (harmony, balance, courage, etc.) is more inspirational than practical, she also presents a concrete five-month "save yourself plan" for financial repair, starting with setting aside checking and savings accounts, fixing one's credit rating, saving for retirement, setting up a will and purchasing home insurance. This encouraging guide will not intimidate women who are foundering financially. (Feb.)

      Due to the publisher's error, we misidentified Sidney Wanzer in our review of his book, To Die Well
      (Reviews, Feb. 18). He the former head of the Harvard Law School Health Services.

      Orman, whose sunny demeanor and sage personal finance advice have won the hearts of millions of readers and viewers of her eponymous CNBC show, dishes out money basics especially for women. Why is it, she asks, that in an age where women are earning larger paychecks than ever before and attaining ever-higher positions in the corporate world, that so many feel like they are drowning in debt and financial ignorance? Orman begins with some classic schadenfreude by telling her own inspiring story: the college dropout and waitress, primarily on the basis of her gangbusters personality, got some customers to loan her money to start her own restaurant—but the clueless neophyte promptly lost every penny to a shady broker. Undeterred, she decided to educate herself about money by becoming a broker herself. She shares her hard-won wisdom with trademark enthusiasm. This is a book for total beginners—those who need to learn the difference between a savings and a checking account, or between a traditional IRA and a Roth. But even financially savvy listeners will enjoy Orman’s chatty style, accentuated by the conversational and intimate approach she takes with the narration. Simultaneous release with the Spiegel & Grau hardcover (Reviews, Mar. 5).

      A partner in an Albany, N.Y., law firm that specializes in personal injury and medical malpractice cases, debut novelist Mednick crafts a quippy, discursive tale of a goodhearted lawyer’s wakeup call. The divorced father of two teens, Mike Samuels has been a personal injury lawyer in Sloan County, N.Y., for more than 20 years, but a midlife feeling of alienation from work has set in. He has two strong-willed women in his life: secretary Alice and girlfriend Ann-Marie, who wants him to commit. Getting by on his self-deprecating wit and sardonic facade, Mike rolls along, but when he accepts the case of Evelyn Walker, who is suing her former employer over a debilitating job-related injury, Mike is forced to shake off his ennui and get focused to defend his client. His neurotic wisecracking can be wearing, but once the story gets to the courtroom, Mike makes an appealing smalltown hero.
