This book helped us to expand and to think outside the box when it came to money. It gave us many things to think about and other ways to view our finances…If this book has a failing, it is that it is more of an overview than a how-to. It left me wanting to learn more….Still, this works as a great stepping-off point to make us reconsider our view of financial issues…. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to increase their financial knowledge. [Review from Goodreads]

This book goes on my shelf of four books I read over and over, books I read devotionally. It totally revolutionized my outlook not only on making money, but also on education. I wish everyone would read this. I wish the close-minded, those who graduated from whatever school they attended and haven’t allowed themselves a new thought since, could break through the stone walls they have erected around their souls and let this in. This message can save our world! I am not exaggerating. [Review from Goodreads]

This book is not just about money. It’s about how we are taught to think; how we are programmed by schools, family, and friends to look at the rich as greedy no good bloodsuckers and opportunities as risks. It is an attempt to reprogram minds to look at why we do what we do.. why do we buy all these shoes, clothes, cars, jewelry.. have we earned it or are we just trying to maintain an image?
To me the most important thing it teaches is that being educated is the key.. educated in our motives, in money, in the world around us.. educated does not always mean a degree lessons can be learned anywhere at anytime..
The book is great for people like me who think in pictures and in theory. He explains his financial theories clearly and adds diagrams to explain how money flows into and out of our wallets. I have read other financial self-help books and they were too detailed, too “do this…do that…” For me that didn’t help or motivate me because, I don’t do anything unless I want to do it. Other books never really gave me the why. They told me what I needed to correct.. but if I don’t see anything wrong in what I am doing.. why should I take steps to correct it? This book broke down to me the whys. And now I am ready for action. [Review from Goodreads]
