  • The Opposite of Spoiled - Raising Kids Who Are Grounded Generous and Smart About Money - cover

    New York Times Bestseller 
    “We all want to raise children with good values—children who are the opposite of spoiled—yet we often neglect to talk to our children about money. . . . From handling the tooth fairy, to tips on allowance, chores, charity, checking accounts, and part-time jobs, this engaging and important book is a must-read for parents.” — Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project 
    In the spirit of Wendy Mogel’s The Blessing of a Skinned Knee and Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman’s Nurture Shock, New York Times “Your Money” columnist Ron Lieber delivers a taboo-shattering manifesto that explains how talking openly to children about money can help parents raise modest, patient, grounded young adults who are financially wise beyond their years. 
    For Ron Lieber, a personal finance columnist and father, good parenting means talking about money with our kids. Children are hyper-aware of money, and they have scores of questions about its nuances. But when parents shy away from the topic, they lose a tremendous opportunity—not just to model the basic financial behaviors that are increasingly important for young adults but also to imprint lessons about what the family truly values. 
    Written in a warm, accessible voice, grounded in real-world experience and stories from families with a range of incomes, The Opposite of Spoiled is both a practical guidebook and a values-based philosophy. The foundation of the book is a detailed blueprint for the best ways to handle the basics: the tooth fairy, allowance, chores, charity, saving, birthdays, holidays, cell phones, checking accounts, clothing, cars, part-time jobs, and college tuition. It identifies a set of traits and virtues that embody the opposite of spoiled, and shares how to embrace the topic of money to help parents raise kids who are more generous and less materialistic. 
    But The Opposite of Spoiled is also a promise to our kids that we will make them better with money than we are. It is for all of the parents who know that honest conversations about money with their curious children can help them become more patient and prudent, but who don’t know how and when to start.

    Filter, Filter, Filter, Fuck It is a nonfiction framework for thoughtful, capable people who are exhausted from constantly editing themselves — written and narrated by the author. 
    Blending personal narrative with leadership insight and psychological clarity, this audiobook explores how instinct, fear, conditioning, and social pressure shape what we say — and what we silence — in boardrooms, relationships, faith systems, and everyday decisions. 
    The #FFFF framework maps the internal sequence most people experience before speaking: 
     First Thought (instinct) 
     Second Thought (fear) 
     Third Thought (conditioning and acceptability) 
     — followed by a conscious interruption: Fuck It. 
    Listeners learn how automatic filtering develops, when it protects us, and when it quietly erodes self-trust, leadership effectiveness, creativity, and integrity. 
    This is not a manifesto for reckless honesty. It is a framework for discernment — knowing when restraint reflects wisdom and when it is fear disguised as professionalism, kindness, maturity, or loyalty. 
    Drawing from corporate leadership, motherhood, high-control systems, and lived experience inside complex power dynamics, the author shows how ignoring the first thought compounds across careers, relationships, and identity. 
    The final section delivers a practical decision guide to help listeners recognize filtering in real time — and choose clarity without self-sabotage.
