Resumen del Editor

MONEY & LOVE: An Intelligent Roadmap for Life’s Biggest Decisions is a guide for navigating life’s most consequential and daunting decisions using research-based insights road-tested in a popular Stanford University course.

Should I move in with this person? Should I quit my job? When is the “right time” to have another child? All these life-altering questions at the juncture of money and love can be overwhelming. Often, we answer them either by staying overly rational or by only listening to our—at times fickle—hearts. Hardly ever, when faced with daunting questions, do we have the keys to combine both head and heart in a balanced and fulfilling way.

Labor economist and Stanford Professor Emerita Myra Strober and social innovation leader Abby Davisson know that in our daily lives money and love are interdependent. Whereas most decision-making guides focus only on one or the other, Money and Love shows us and our loved ones how to consider them jointly using the original, step-by-step 5Cs method:

• Clarify
• Communicate
• Choices
• Check-in
• Consequences

At a time when we are experiencing the most significant shift in work-life balance in decades—marked by remote work, the Great Reshuffle, and a mass reconfiguring of family dynamics and social/professional networks—Strober and Davisson’s framework offers simple and effective steps to empower listeners to make the best strategic decisions without having to sacrifice their careers or personal lives.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

A life roadmap to craft

This book gives a detail guide of developing coherent life path that aligns with professional and individual life choices. Yet, takes into consideration many systemic flaws that has over many decades unrecognized our purpose as a society and as individuals.
Is pragmatic, sharp, thoughtful and elegant. And it serve to reconcile adding love to our money language, adding love as a path a not as a stop on the road.
Thank you!!!

Lots of anecdote stories no methodology

Lots of anecdote stories no methodology, interesting to hear other people stories not particularly helpful in terms of tools and techniques to replicate

A guide for life’s biggest decisions

The authors have brought key insights and solid research to life from a Stanford GSB course using relatable examples and anecdotes. While the book is an excellent guide for any individual person or couple making major life decisions, I also appreciated the last chapter’s reflection on the complex system and societal structures in which we all make these decisions. None of our decisions about money and love happen in a vacuum.

No true methodology, politically charged.

I saw Abby Davisson on a podcast and found the idea of this book promising so I picked it up. There is helpful information and it doesn’t reinforce the message to consider the future when making decision around Money and Love… but the book really ruins it with its political pandering. I think the authors could’ve made something great if they spent less time preaching and more time reinforcing their stepped approach to decision making. Overall this was a disappointment.
