Scripts & Shillings

We all like to believe our money decisions are logical. But beneath every calculation lie emotion, culture, memory, upbringing, and faith. Scripts & Shillings reveals how these hidden "money scripts" quietly shape our financial lives,and how to rewrite them with awareness, courage, and discipline. Blending psychology and finance, Andrew Njehia takes readers beyond spreadsheets into the unseen world of human behavior—the true engine of wealth. From the quiet hand of luck to the whispers of fear and greed, each chapter unpacks the timeless emotional and cultural forces that drive our financial results. You'll explore: · Luck and Risk – how chance and perception intertwine to shape success. · Fear and Greed – the twin emotions that sabotage even smart investors. · Regret and Stubbornness – why we cling to bad decisions and how to let go. · Hope and Intuition – the allies that restore confidence when logic falters. · Belief and Culture – how religion, superstition, and upbringing influence money choices. · Practical Investing – where your money can work for you and how to match risk to temperament. Through relatable stories—from Nairobi investors and business owners to everyday dreamers, Njehia exposes the real battlefield of wealth: the mind. He shows why most people don't fail from lack of knowledge but from unexamined emotional scripts. More than a finance manual, Scripts & Shillings is a mirror and a compass. It invites readers to pause, reflect, and reclaim authorship of their financial story. You'll discover that wealth begins long before it appears in an account—it begins in the mind. This is not a "get rich quick" guide. It's a call to clarity and conscious action: · To understand the role of luck but master preparation. · To face fear with awareness instead of denial. · To pursue growth without surrendering to greed. · To align money with meaning, values, and purpose. If The Invisible Script was a journey inward, Scripts & Shillings is its continuation-a journey outward into the world of money, where the same inner beliefs reveal their cost and their power. By the end, you'll not only understand money better, you'll understand yourself. You'll walk away with a new financial ethos rooted in humility, wisdom, and emotional intelligence. Wealth is not just what you earn. It's what you understand, manage, and keep.
