Also, we all have heard of the advertisements on how to be debt-free by consolidating debt and taking out loans with minimal interest rates.

A lot has been taught about addressing the problem but how can the people solve a problem they dont understand? This personal finance book is a must-read as unlike all other books about debt, it does not provide ways to become debt-free. Instead, it discusses why the concept debt is so powerful by using psychological findings and historical data.

Further, the book talks about the current American culture and the pressure it puts on average Americans to succumb to the wave of materialism and high-priced luxury items in order to get by life. This book will help you understand these socioeconomic trends, and will equip you with the proper knowledge to better deal with debt.
