About this listen

New York Times best-selling author and comedian-turned-motivational speaker Kyle Cease shows how your obsession with money is actually preventing you from living the life of your dreams.

"I can't afford that."
"Now's not the right time.... I need to save up."
"Quit my job? Are you nuts?!"

Sound familiar? Money is one of the biggest excuses we make to not go after what we really want. Our fixation with money - the desire for more of it, and the fear of not having enough of it - is often really just a longing to feel safe. But this obsession with money is coming at a much bigger cost: our sanity, our creativity, our freedom, and our ability to step into our true power. This book is about eliminating the need to seek safety through the illusion of money, and learning to see ourselves for the perfection that we are - so that we can bring our gifts to the world in an authentic way, and allow ourselves to receive massive, true abundance as a result. Kyle Cease has heard excuses like the ones above countless times at his live events, and he has shown people how to completely break through them. In The Illusion of Money, he shares his own experiences, as well as practical tools to help listeners understand their ingrained beliefs and attachments to money, and how they can tap into our infinite assets and talents.

"After 25 years as a successful comedian, actor, transformational speaker, author, and junior-league amateur bowler, I've experienced many times how chasing money is not an effective way to create an abundant and fulfilling life. The most alive I've ever felt was after I left my comedy career at its peak to become a transformational speaker. I left tons of guaranteed money and so-called security for a complete unknown. It was terrifying - but what was on the other side of that terror was a completely different life that is not only more abundant financially, but has more freedom, more ease, more passion, more impact, and more joy." (Kyle Cease)

Amazing new way to look at life!

I feel like I have been choosing the wrong way my whole life. This has inspired me to try doing things opposite and see what happens. It feels a little like jumping off a cliff. Extremely scary but super exciting at the same time.

Superb

The book is brilliant. Anyone who says different just isn't ready for it yet IMO, because he's so right about it all. I love how passionate he is about trying to get everyone to awaken to their highest potential by letting go of their fears and the things they think keep them secure. I haven't done all the exercises yet because I listen while in bed a lot but I will be definitely doing them and can see how they will help people get focused on what matters. Liked his first book, love this one.

Changed my view on everything, not just money

Such a pleasure to listen to! It is really fun to hear Kyle himself read this book, as he adds notes of his customary humour throughout. But more reason to listen is the sheer transformative power of this work. It is not just about money, as I had initially thought. Ultimately, it's about you, how you value yourself, and what you value most in life - something I thought I knew but didn't really take the time to actually deeply consider. The exercises are amazing, if you do them. Just try the "100 things that could go right today" exercise and see if it doesn't automatically put you in a more positive frame of mind!

Kyle is simply the best!

I enjoyed every second of this book and was so sad to finish it. I will be reading it (listening) again and again...starting right now. Thank you. ♥️♥️

Painfully Saccharine

I down loaded this title just before a 6 hour drive with the hope of settling in and getting some new insights. I had to stop listening after about 20 min. The message of "follow your dreams", was just to superficial. I also found the delivery irritating with the interjection of silly humour to be more a reflection of the authors' self absorption than anything else. Perhaps if I would have persisted beyond the first part the true value of this book, as reflected by the other reviews, would have been apparent, but I took the authors advice. I stopped doing what I didn't like (listening).
