2.) The Psychology of Financial Planning Practitioners Guide by Klontz, Chaffin, & Klontz (blue cover, hardback)

3.) The Psychology of Financial Planning Practitioners Toolkit by Klontz, Chaffin, & Klontz (red cover, paperback)

    Anything by the Klontz's are worth reading over and over again.

    Sounds like you've read their other books and research. Which publication has been the most impactful for your practice?

    No.

    I've not read any of these books by Klontz, but I do have some questions:

    1). Are these books required to be read by CFP Board?

    2). Are there significant differences from the material in the Kaplan textbooks?

    I really do not wish to spend more time and resources on other sources of exam materials unless you imply that Kaplan is not a guaranteed source of passing the CFP exam.

    Please respond. Thanks

    The new books are not required reading, by the CFP® Board or by the College.

    The new books do not cover CFP® Board education course Principle Knowledge Topics that are tested on the certification exam.

    They were, however, written by the Klontzs, which was the topic of this thread in the Financial Planners Professional Community. If you seek insights in passing the CFP® exam, I suggest that you check out the Community boards in that area.
