Young Money Launch Week Update!
Now help me mog Tony Robbins by buying, reviewing, and sharing
Five years after launching this blog, I’m stoked that Young Money: A Field Guide to Wealth and Purpose in Your Twenties, is finally available for purchase! Buy your copy below:
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Young Money went live Tuesday, and the last 48 hours have been insane. The Barnes & Noble by Union Square in Manhattan was sold out, a friend texted me that the bookstore in San Francisco’s Marina District was sold out, and I’ve received hundreds of texts, tweets, messages, and posts about the book. People seem to love it. To everyone who purchased and / or posted about the book, THANK YOU.
Thanks to you, Young Money: A Field Guide to Wealth and Purpose in Your Twenties, is currently Amazon’s best-selling new release in personal finance, the #2 new release success and self-help book behind Tony Robbins, and the #4 on all personal finance books (not just new releases!) on Kindle, ahead of Die with Zero and Rich Dad Poor Dad.
Not bad!
Oh, I also wanted to share my favorite feedback email so far:
“Never heard about you before but you are actually pretty based.” Is probably my favorite endorsement I’ve received from a stranger, so thank you Cyrus for the promotion.
48 hours in, I couldn’t be happier with the book’s reception, but I have two lingering thoughts: You know what’s cooler than being second to Tony Robbins in the self-help charts? Passing Tony Robbins. And you know what’s cooler (and more ambitious) than passing Tony Robbins? Shooting for the New York Times’ list.
The key to both: selling as many books as possible. I think both are doable, but I need your help. So I have a few asks:
If you haven’t already, could you order a copy of Young Money? (and if you bought it and loved it, order copies for your friends, families, and students!) If you’re already on my mailing list, and you like Young Money the blog, you’ll love Young Money, the book. Whether you’re 21 staring down college graduation, 28 and facing a career inflection, or 55 and reflecting on the past 30 years, I think you’ll find that my work resonates. Order from your local bookstore or Amazon below:
If you’ve read Young Money, could you leave an honest review on Amazon? Amazon, like social media apps, is algorithmically driven, and the two things that move the needle are 1) book sales and 2) reviews.
If you think other folks in your life should read Young Money, share the book with them! (and feel free to send them the Amazon link).
If you really liked Young Money, toss a post with the book cover, a screenshot of your favorite passage, or your takeaways on X, Linkedin, or Instagram and throw me a tag! I’ll make sure to repost.
Thank again for buying, reading, and supporting. Let’s mog Tony Robbins together.
