“Renee Introduces Her NEW Book: The Morality of Money”
Published April 2026
This blog highlights Renee’s new book, The Morality of Money, available for pre-order at Amazon KDP.
It’s finally done. My book, The Morality of Money, is finally available for PRE-ORDER at Amazon KDP. This has been one heck of a journey. If you think that publishing a book sounds like a lot of work, you’re right. Believe it or not, the actual writing is nothing compared to proofing, formatting, publishing, marketing, and more. I seriously have never been through anything like it except the labor and delivery of my children.
Yes, not kidding. Minus the physical pain, it could be the same. In both instances, there were times it was so grueling with no end in sight, and the only thing that kept my head in the game was wanting to see the baby (or the book) in the end.
This means my newest baby is finally here and I am excited to introduce you to her. She is a labor of love, and you are a major part of this process. The lively discussions and revealing commentary from our LIVE INSURANCE CE courses is the launching point in nearly every chapter. Through your perspective and the mountains of research I’ve waded through over the years, my ideas of wealth and how to create it have morphed over time. This book is the product of all we have learned together in these classroom environments.
The other side, the “moral” side, is based in part on the lessons of ethics, the economy, and government policy from our LIVE INSURANCE CE classes. A few curveballs in my personal life have forced me to reconsider the popular ideas around money, the world, and our role in all of it. This is unlike any financial planning book, and I hope you step in and decide for yourself by PRE-ORDERING YOUR COPY today.
The book will be released on June 15, 2026. At that time, the print versions will be available and if you PRE-ORDERED the Kindle ebook version, it will be downloaded to your app. For some reason, Amazon does not allow you to PRE-ORDER the print versions. Even my kids want the real, hold in your hands, printed books, BUT early ebook pre-orders really help Amazon see momentum behind the book.
Even if you are not as interested in the ebook, it’s worthwhile to do so under the PRE-ORDER for TWO REALLY GOOD REASONS:
ONE — Amazon looks at these early sales to see how much traction a book will receive when it’s released. There are thousands of books being published every single day. Amazon will push the books most likely to sell. PRE-ORDERS are one of the ways they determine which books are likely to sell. Please help me with this dynamic by BUYING TODAY.
TWO — It really won’t cost you anything. You will need to pay for the PRE-ORDER EBOOK, yes. But, on June 15th, the release date, the printed paper books will be offered at a deep discount. As a result, you will have both an ebook and a printed version for the price of one book. WIN!
You also do NOT need a Kindle to read the ebook version. The Kindle app on your phone or tablet will do the trick. Now that I live in Mexico, all of my books are the e-version so they are with me wherever I go instead of taking up valuable packing space. Super portable. Always accessible. In addition to the hardcover, paperback, and ebook, I will also be publishing an audio book sometime in June or July.
Still unsure if this book is for you? Check out this SAMPLE OF THE MORALITY OF MONEY that I posted on my AUTHOR’S WEBSITE, https://reneelizbryan.info. The website and the sample will give you a much better idea of what this book is about. Ultimately, I hope this is the sort of book that can also help you help your clients. There are sections about financial planning but also regarding use of insurance to protect our wealth.
If that still isn’t enough, at least five of the chapters will become ONLINE INSURANCE CONTINUING EDUCATION courses that will be available to you in the next 30 days or so. This will give you an opportunity to read parts of the book and get your insurance continuing education, too. WIN-WIN! Look for those offerings with discount pricing soon.
I know that many of you do not need any convincing. You’ve likely already ordered the ebook and you’re excited to dive into the SAMPLE PAGES that gives you the first 30 pages of the book while you wait for the June 15th release date. So many of you have been asking me about this book, that I know you’ll buy it. In fact, some of you have already begun helping me with marketing through local radio shows and the like. If you have any other opportunities like that, please let me know. Maybe some of them will be a good excuse to come back to Minnesota to see you again in-person.
