Let's face it: We all know financial freedom isn't something you can achieve in a day, a week, or even a month.
It's a goal we'll have to pursue with discipline and intention for years — and that's why most of us never start.
It's hard to build, let alone maintain, good financial habits for decades. But some people do it. How? By going slow and steady.
If the goal is impossible to attain with a sprint, your only chance is to take the journey one step at a time. To be kind to yourself, forgive your own mistakes, and get back on the wagon time and again until, eventually, you succeed.
The 4 Minute Millionaire is a book I wrote to help you win the marathon that is personal finance — and today, the audiobook is finally ready, allowing you to run that marathon 4 minutes at a time, listening to a chapter a day.
After we had summarized over 1,000 books on Four Minute Books, I compiled the 20 best titles on finance published in the last 50 years. Then, I pulled out their very best lessons, structured them chronologically based on when someone might need them in their financial-freedom journey, and grouped them into 5 themes:
This is the book I wish someone had handed me when I was 18 years old and knew nothing about finance. High school didn't teach me. My parents didn't teach me. And college wouldn't teach me either.
But even if you're already further along in your journey, you'll get something out of this book. It might inspire you to define retirement a little differently, to pay off your debt faster, or to invest into a new asset class you've never even heard of until now.
At a good marathon event, there'll be stations for the runners along various milestones, where they can grab some water or a protein bar on the go. This book, too, will pick you up wherever you are — and now, thanks to the new audio version, that's as easy as pressing play on your phone.
The book has sold over 3,000 copies so far, and it has 4.4 stars (how apt!) from 148 ratings on Amazon. I love what reviewer Nicholas had to say about it:
"This is one of those rare books that not only contains important ideas but also presents them in a compelling and accessible way. A great introduction to wealth building and the psychology behind it.
I especially loved the bite-sized chapters—made the whole experience inviting and accessible. I ended up reading the whole thing in one sitting because it was so fun and fast working through each small chapter.
I also found myself actually doing most of the exercises (which I almost never do in books) because they were so simple and short."
When I set out to make an audiobook for The 4 Minute Millionaire, I knew I wanted to work with a real human being. I know the age of AI is upon us, and it has its uses, but when you've put countless hours of your own blood, sweat, and tears into something, especially a book, it only feels right to have someone equally as dedicated to their craft read it out loud.
For me, that someone was Nathan Agin, who was incredibly professional, delivered on time, and brought just the right tone and ambience to the project.
