(5 stars)

this book has provable system of the power of mental thought joined with the action to produce what was imagined. it has completely changed my perspective about getting rich and staying relevant. When the author said that LOVE IS DENY EXPRESSION IN POVERTY, that alone modified my view and increased my motivation through supporting every of my thoughts with a strategic action. thank you so much.

Great Reading, the book...


(3.5 stars)

I enjoyed this reader's accent, so I kept listening. This is the book that inspired "The Secret" iirc, and the family guy Brian Griffin title "Wish it. Want it. Do it." It's essentially the thinking of a privileged white fellow who wants something and always gets it. This author seems to be more ethical in his thinking than modern billionaires. Has a few good takeaways.

Best Ever


(5 stars)

This book is my testimony that indeed anyone can become rich. Interestingly in chapter 4 of this book, the author said if anyone put into practice the writings of the book will definitely get rich. I am a proof that the writings in this book are true. Since I have the hack, I'll expand my thinking about riches and wealth. Thanks

Good concepts, bad explanations, very christian


(2 stars)

Very old-fashioned typical super christian book which advices not to read from other authors in order not to figure out the discrepancies it has. The concepts are great, but the explanation and examples, with references to Jesus, sometimes make no sense. The narrator did a great job, though, I think.

Hugely enticing.


(5 stars)

So much in this book resonates at a deep and intuitive level. From universal abundance and co-creation to kinsmanship and a non-competitive ideal, this convincing philosophy is interspersed with biblical quotations and truths, further convincing the listener of its validity and heavenly endorsed application. Well worth a listen.

this is not science at all


(1 stars)

This book talks about how to think about becoming rich but science involves experiement and theory. in short this book states think about becoming rich, be grateful and shun the poor. This is an example of an old fashion click bait title.


(3 stars)

Its a book about teaching to how one can become rich. I listened this book many times and concluded that creativity with strong desire for riches is the main thing shared in the book. Its a good book to read.
