A breakthrough practical spiritual guide to achieving all your goals
For the first time ever, one of the rarely discussed formulas for building wealth and achieving success in all areas is revealed in The Attractor Factor. Popular marketing and spirituality guru Joe Vitale argues that those who try hard and fail need to remake their inner beings in order to easily attract success, wealth, and happiness. Many people do the right things but get the wrong results; it's not so much what they do, as what they are inside. The problem for most people is self-sabotage. In five easy steps, Vitale shows anyone how to become happier and more successful by doing a few simple things differently every day. Part wealth-creation guide, part spiritual road map, part autobiography, The Attractor Factor offers inspiring, effective answers for anyone who wants to feel better, be happier, get wealthier, and get ahead in life.
Joe Vitale (Wimberley, TX) is President of Hypnotic Marketing, Inc., a marketing consulting firm. He has been called "the Buddha of the Internet" for his combination of spirituality and marketing acumen. His articles are widely read and his professional clients include The Red Cross, PBS, Hermann Children's Hospital, and many other small and large international businesses.

Attractor.......2007-10-23
I liked allot of what this book says, but I am not so sure how easy it is to change a life as the sub-title suggests. I saw The Secret, and I like Dr. Vitale in it, as I do in this book as well. Everything he says seems to make sense. But both The Secret, and this book, are not going to profoundly change your lives. Well, I should not say that. It may, but it will likely be a work in progress. It just depends on were you are in your life, and how much you want to change. I read this book at the beginning of this year. And I saw The Secret at the beginning of 2006. I have noticed changes in my awareness of life. I am more comfortable in life as well. Maybe that comfort is knowing that there is too much unknown. But it is still baby steps. One moment at a time. Very small ripples in the lake.

Book Description
Madeline Levine has been a practicing psychologist for twenty–five years, but it was only recently that she began to observe a new breed of unhappy teenager. When a bright, personable fifteen–year–old girl, from a loving and financially comfortable family, came into her office with the word empty carved into her left forearm, Levine was startled. This girl and her message seemed to embody a disturbing pattern Levine had been observing. Her teenage patients were bright, socially skilled, and loved by their affluent parents. But behind a veneer of achievement and charm, many of these teens suffered severe emotional problems. What was going on? Conversations with educators and clinicians across the country as well as meticulous research confirmed Levine's suspicions that something was terribly amiss. Numerous studies show that privileged adolescents are experiencing epidemic rates of depression, anxiety disorders, and substance abuse –– rates that are higher than those of any other socioeconomic group of young people in this country. The various elements of a perfect storm –– materialism, pressure to achieve, perfectionism, disconnection –– are combining to create a crisis in America's culture of affluence. This culture is as unmanageable for parents –– mothers in particular –– as it is for their children. While many privileged kids project confidence and know how to make a good impression, alarming numbers lack the basic foundation of psychological development: an authentic sense of self. Even parents often miss the signs of significant emotional problems in their "star" children. In this controversial look at privileged families, Levine offers thoughtful, practical advice as she explodes one child–rearing myth after another. With empathy and candor, she identifies parenting practices that are toxic to healthy self–development and that have contributed to epidemic levels of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse in the most unlikely place –– the affluent family.

afflictions of affluence.......2007-09-05
Madeline Levine knows the afflictions of affluence. Although she was raised in a blue collar setting and her family even lived on state assistance for a while, for thirty years she's lived in Marin County, California, just across the Golden Gate Bridge, where she's raised a family of five and practiced as a clinical psychologist. In addition to her personal experiences as a mother and a clinician, her book includes the findings of social-scientific studies, cultural analyses, and the insights of her colleagues to explore the "paradox of privilege." Why are there so many kids "whose problems seem out of proportion to their life circumstances?" Why do her adolescent patients have some of the highest rates of dysfunctional behaviors, including addictions, eating disorders, cutting, burning, depression, insomnia, boredom and anxiety? Why have adolescent suicides quadrupled since 1950?
Levine encourages us to take an "unflinching look at our parenting skills." There she finds two contributing factors: achievement pressure and maladaptive perfectionism that make kids feel like parental love depends upon performance. Kids also feel isolated from their parents, even those overweening parents who, out of their own neediness, are not simply involved in the lives of their kids but downright intrusive. Levine teases out the distinctions between support and micro-management, wholesome encouragement and overbearing pressure. She also spends considerable time deconstructing the more toxic elements of affluent cultures, encouraging parents to resist the status quo of overwrought competition, perfectionism, and materialism.
All parents have limited abilities, skills, and opportunities, not to mention their own family of origin baggage. Children are all different and unpredictable, so there is no one-size-fits-all set of techniques that guarantees success. Levine is empathetic and realistic; she never makes you feel like parenting requires sainthood. I especially appreciated the several times she shared her own family failures and successes. She repeatedly returns to the special influence of mothers on their children, along with the their unique challenges (including her entire last chapter). I'm sure that many of the problems she describes exist not merely in affluent communities but most everywhere. The wisdom she offers in this book will help any parent, no matter where they live.
a practical and insightful book.......2007-07-11
One reason I was pleased with this book is that the author, psychologist Madeline Levine, doesn't blame money itself for the rising problems among privileged teens. She mentions wealthy families where the kids are raised to be decent, hard-working, responsible and mature. Rather than rail against the evil of money (which would've been annoyingly hypocritical, given that she, her husband and sons live in an affluent community), Dr. Levine makes an important distinction between money and the values that often go hand-in-hand with money (but don't have to).
One example is the attitude of materialism one sees in many privileged communities. Materialism isn't constrained to any one socioeconomic class; a person from a poor or middle class home may also value his possessions excessively, and place more importance on acquiring more "stuff" at the expense of spending quality time with family, forming friendships, and cultivating meaningful interests and positive character traits. The reason why materialism is often associated only with wealth, is that wealthy people have the means to indulge it more often and in more conspicuous ways. The point is, it's this mindset that Levine criticizes, not money per se. She knows wealthy kids who are well-adjusted, in part because their parents had them do chores around the house, encouraged them to volunteer and engage in community activities, did not cave in and buy them everything they wanted, and basically set firm boundaries and placed emphasis on the important values in life. In less healthy families, material goods are sadly seen as fulfilling all needs and solving all problems.
It's painful to read about parents who hold out bribes of expensive cars and clothes in the hopes that their kids will get the best grades, make the best sports teams, and get into the best colleges. As Levine points out, it's not only materialism that hurts these kids. It's also the intense pressure to be the best at everything and pull it off without any apparent effort. The emphasis on outward appearance, on superficial measures of success stifles many of the kids in these communities.
One example she gives is a boy who's unremarkable academically but very gifted at car repair and mechanics. For his parents it's a nightmare; they're ambitious, college-educated professionals and can't accept their son's enthusiasm and preference for what they see as lower class work. They criticize him relentlessly, and as one coping mechanism for feeling so under-valued and out of place in his family and community, he turns to drugs and starts acting out. Levine doesn't excuse the boy's behavior, but she can understand it; in addition to drug abuse treatment, part of her therapy involves the parents and getting them to see that their son is his own person and shouldn't be forced into the prototypical mold for a "successful" child.
Which brings me to another good point about the book. Levine really encourages parents to rethink their parenting styles and review their values and motives. For example, after reading this book a father might wonder why he's pushing his son so hard to play a sport - is it because he wants the boy to learn something and grow as a person? Or is it because he wants to live vicariously through his son and be the envy of the other competitive fathers in the community?
Levine is sympathetic to parents. She acknowledges that most parents want the best for their kids. She has particular compassion for the mothers in these affluent communities, who often lead lonely lives and, because of the need to appear perfectly happy and perfectly together, often don't have a close friend to confide in (in fact, one of the pitfalls is a socially isolated mother turning to her kids for the kind of emotional intimacy she isn't getting from her spouse and friends). She urges parents, particularly mothers, to address the troubled and painful issues in their own lives; essentially, a content and well-adjusted parent makes for a much better influence on a kid than one who is cold and remote, or clingy and needy, or just downright depressed.
Dr. Levine's book is thoughtful, straightforward and worth reading. Though all parents can benefit from her advice, the book is especially important for affluent parents who inspite of their good intentions might readily adopt the dominant values of their communities - the materialism, the pressure to look good and (at least outwardly) succeed, the emotional isolation, and the conformity to a certain kind of lifestyle. As Levine demonstrates again and again in her book, these values stunt and skew development.
Clearly I'm in the minority here.........2007-06-13
This is a very good book with many valuable insights and clinical observations. The problem I have with this book is the same problem I have with the psychological and psychiatric communities in general. Psychotherapists like Dr. Levine have effectively removed religion from their professional discourse and thus their diagnoses, both personal and scoial, are inevitably incomplete. In my opinion, there is a clear link between affluence and secularism/atheism and between secularism/atheism and depression. Statistically, impoverished, less affluent peoples are far more likely to attend religious services on a weekly basis and to hold the religious life in higher esteem. Perhaps it is this lack of a religious orientation that causes or helps to cause those issues which Dr. Levine does consider at length; depression, materialism, perfectionism, stress etc. Unfortuantely, in today's psychiatric climate the question of religion is off the table.
The Price of Privilege.......2007-03-12
This book enlightens parents to the consequences of pampering their chidren monetarily and with lack of discipline. The topic crosses the affluence boundary and affects all families in this day and age, to some extent. Chidlren are growing up with less of a spiritual core which parents fill with 'stuff', playing into the consumer culture of today. It's not only a great parenting book, but an excellent profile of our need to succeed in order to feel worthy. She is a great writer and I highly recommend this book.
Very Important Book.......2007-02-13
I gave this to one of my sisters last spring when her teenage son was going thru some difficulties. She subsequently gave it to her husband, and then to the school headmaster who made it mandatory reading for the school's counseling dept. If they believe so strongly in this book, parents can, too.

Very slim volume, very interesting concept.......2007-04-26
This is a very slim volume. If you are looking for a complex program to change your life, with many exercises and ideas, this is not for you.
Strangely, however, the short text did have a powerful effect on how I viewed my world after I read it. Joe's list of things to do is pretty short (list what you don't want, list what you do want, and then a few more steps, equally as simple.) What did happen is that I decided to restructure my thinking, considering every thought as to whether it was positive or negative. I also decided to fill up an envelope on my desk with "thank-you notes" to God, thanking him for all the positive things happening every day. (Not particularly something in this book, but based on Joe's ideas.) Each day, I jotted down an thank-you whenever something good happened. Then I popped it into an envelope I'm keeping on my desk. A week later, the envelope was full to bursting. Some seemingly negative things happened but I decided to treat them like opportunities, keeping a cheerful frame of mind while dealing with the issues. If nothing else, I felt good during the process.
Maybe this is all about how you view the glass; a half-glass full of refreshing water, or a half-empty glass heading to a full-fledged drought. For whatever reason, despite the fact this is a very short book, it can get you to thinking. Maybe that's it's power.
Great Book!.......2007-01-20
This book does more for you because it requires some input on your part. Involving your personal information which enables you to acknowledge some blocks and helps you make the changes you need in order for your dreams and desires to be manifested. I highly recommend this for anyone who feels like they are in a rut and need to get out or anyone who needs some help in reaching for the stars with a definite purpose.
Great Marketing Approach.......2006-09-06
I love this book. Joe Vitale is a wonderful author and has a way of speaking in his writing that is direct and gives you some ideas of different approaches to this topic. I recommend this book highly.
Buy Joe's other book, Attractor Factor, instead!.......2006-08-21
The only reason I give this book one star is because everything in it is also in Vitale's other book The Attractor Factor. Attractor is an expanded and much better version that I rated 5 stars and which I highly recommend.
Enlightening, positive, profound........2006-01-10
Vitale is a guru in his field, perhaps self-appointed, but a guru just the same. His steps are consise and powerful. Your life will change if you follow them. I bought "Outrageous Marketing", also by Joe. It is fantastic as well. The main idea he promotes is that you can do whatever you want, have what you want, and be who you want to be if you are willing to take certain 'spiritual steps'. These steps are nothing but absolute laws of nature that must be observed by everything on the face of the earth. I highly recommend it.
Book Description
Popular speaker, multimillionaire, and author of the all-time bestselling real-estate book Nothing Down, Robert G. Allen knows how to bring you financial success. With his seminars sweeping the nation, Allen is at the cutting edge of strategic wealth creation now more than ever. And in this completely revised edition of his classic bestseller Creating Wealth Allen gives you the basic principles that you need to stop thinking poor and start growing rich.
Moving beyond just real estate, Allen goes straight to the core of people's inner motivations and beliefs about money to give you all the fundamentals of wealth creation. By developing a wealthy mind-set, anyone can take off into financial self-reliance -- and Allen shows you how. He explains the ways in which most of us have been programmed to think that only saving is good and debt and risk are bad, so that in our efforts to gain security, we cheat ourselves out of getting rich. The key to changing that mind-set is Allen's unique integration of real estate with other wealth-generating investments.
In his trademark, easy-to-understand style Allen spells out all his practical applications and shows you how to:
-
Take advantage of recent tax laws
- Use leverage to multiply holdings while minimizing risks
- Benefit from high-yield discount mortgages
- Acquire long-term profits in gold and silver coins
- Set up corporations and trusts to protect assets
- Find the highest rate of return with the greatest liquidity
As Robert Allen has proved in his own life -- becoming a multimillionaire well before he was thirty-five -- it doesn't matter how much or how little money you have when you start as long as you understand the right principles -- timeless principles that can make you a fortune.

Don't buy it if you don't want REAL RESULTS.......2007-10-17
Allen's book provides a pragmatic perspective on real estate. Much better than Carlton Sheets and other books on Real Estate Investment. There are a gizillion books on Real Estate and building financial wealth, however most of them are filled with common-sense cliches and psychological mumbo jumbo. If you want to gain real wealth,you must read these books:

New edition OUTDATED; Many examples; Few clear details.......2007-04-08
I read this book cover to cover.
The book is broken into 5 parts: Foundation (the hook), Creating Wealth (the scheme), Concentration (the early stages), Perpetuating Wealth (the maturing stages), and Real Wealth (the later stages).
The Foundation starts off with some very cheesy motivational advice ("Bob Allen, you're great! You are a unique new kind of person ..."). To each his own, I guess. Then a sample of how different people would invest a $100,000 windfall. Of course every one is an idiot for 1) diversifying, 2) paying down debt, 3) investing in stocks, or 4) taking a vacation. He does make a very good argument for leveraging your debt to create wealth. That is the gem of this book.
The second part says buy 2 rental houses per year for 10 years. There's no discussion of other real estate options, just single family homes at below median price. He lays out his plan for 1) leveraging up to create wealth, 2) then jettisoning debt, diversifying, and creating a tax shelter. It's frustrating, though, because he just critized paying down debt and diversify and doesn't really explain the whys and whens. He actually suggests selling properties (and paying capital gains tax) to pay down debt, then immediately buying properties to create a tax shelter. Is he a fool? I can't tell. Though he referenced future chapters, there was no explanation for this bizarre suggesting in the referenced chapters. In fact, there is a big disconnect between the sections in the book. Many of my main questions went unanswered.
The next section, Concentrating, is the best. It describes some of the ins and outs of buying and owning properties. However, one gets the impression that his success is more due to being a good negotiator than to having a fool-proof system.
The Perpetuating Wealth section talks about discounted mortgages, gold coins, diversifying, legal structures, and taxes. These chapters are very disjoined and hit or miss. While discounted mortgages is quite interesting, he shows his limits in a discussion of ratios. He uses a Debt-to-Assets ratio and a Equity-to-Debt ratio to grade loans. Hello? These ratios contain equivalent information. Is he really using these to make decisions? His third ratio, Discount-to-Debt is followed by an example saying a $1000 discount may not be a bargain because costs in a default could exceed $1000. But the ratio isn't what gives one this information.
The legal structures chapter gives little useful information and taxes just doesn't get the job done. It has a pretty bad plumbing analogy for taxes. The final diagram has 3 buckets, 6 spigots, a filter, a manual pump, a few hoses spraying $$$, and some $$$ sprinkling on a piggy bank and a family. Now I get it.
The final 2 chapters are one saying education is useful and the other with nothing but 6 pages of quotes.
A Key to Riches.......2007-03-15
A very informative book that spells out the steps necessary to obtaining wealth legally and in a period of time almost anyone can achieve. A must read for those seeking the secrets to wealth.
John Nuzzolese, President of The Landlord Protection Agency.......2007-03-14
With Creating Wealth, Robert Allen made a tremendous impact on my life because it reinforced my belief that I can do it. The book is charged with positivity and packed with great ideas. I found it extremely inspirational. Inspirational enough for me to participate in Robert Allen's 1987 Challenge Experience. Great books like this are just as informative and inspiring today as they were 20 years ago. I love this book.

Nice anecdotes about the success of others, but where is the meat?.......2006-06-25
Thank goodness I did not purchase this book! The library saves me again. A worthless read that did nothing to educate me in investing in probate real estate. The author focuses on anecdotal stories, mostly of success with making money off personal property--not real estate.
Basically an infomercial.......2006-06-13
I concur with everyone here. after reading this nonsense i wondered who i felt more sorry for, me for the hours of life i will never get back, or for the trees that died to publish it. I agree with the previous post, look at the death records and then work backwards. And that didnt waste your time or kill any nature.
Not worth it........2006-04-29
This book does not give solid practical advice. If you're a new investor who has never bought a house before, perhaps this would work for you. But if you've bought and fixed up a property it isn't for you. You'd be better served going to the probate court in your area and asking questions. It included lots of general anecdotes, but it makes one wonder why he wrote it if he weren't truly going to share how to do it. The actual probate advice in this book could be condensed to a 10-page pamphlet.
Don't Waste Your Money.......2006-01-21
I too had high expectations of this book. What a let down. I read alot of real estate books and this is the first time I felt cheated by the author. I thought this was a step by step book on how to purchase probate properties but I was dead wrong. Save your money, we all can't be wrong about this book...
Don't spend your money on this one!.......2005-11-18
Rarely do I write book reviews but this one was so bad that I feel obligated to let people know about it. The bottom line is that this book lacks the detail needed to really teach a person about the probate system and how to use it to successfully invest in real estate.

Ed Slott is considered THE expert on stretch IRA's. Book is aimed at investors who will probably die before depleting their IRA funds. It explains how to structure a stretch IRA to pass this money on to future generations with minimal taxation.
Book is better organized than Slott's previous books. It is very readable. I keep it for a reference and have purchased additional copies for gifts.
Requried Reading for Anyone with an IRA........2006-07-23
This book focuses on ensuring that your IRA is properly set up, so that it can be passed on to beneficiaries intact, effectively establishing a "stretch IRA". The stretch IRA describes an IRA held by a beneficiary, and which will pay out over their lifetime.
This book is very well organized, and the author is clearly very enthusiastic about his subject. He does quite well making his case, that you should ensure your IRA passes intact to a beneficiary, in that it can offer them HUGE tax advantages for their entire life time.
He is also quite good about explaining the steps you need to achieve this. Much of the book is reference material that will not apply to everyone at any given time, but that is not a real criticism. The book is cheap enough, and the sections that apply to all are worth the entire purchase price.
If you have an IRA, and you have any desire to pass your assets along to a beneficiary, this book is an excellent starting point.

This is a wonderful book and audio book. I love to listen to it before retiring at night or while driving or walking. This book gives you direction and an A-Z map on how to have abundance and an happier and simpler life. I have found that it is great advice and it works if you apply the advice. It is a type of audio book that can be played over and over again as needed.
Simple - for reading and re-reading........2007-01-08
Some reviewers complain about the simplicity and
brevity of this book. I think that is a part of
its beauty... and definitely within the intent
of the author.
I think we can all agree that the author, Deepak
Chopra, knows personally the meaning and experience
of creating affluence. That is the main reason I
picked up the book. I would LOVE to experience a lifestyle
similar to his, wouldn't you?
Yes, the book is simple - it is brief - and it is
meant to be read and reviewed five pages a time
every day in order to soak it all in.
The reader receives a road-map to follow and
integrate.
There are lengthier books to read - and if you
want that, check them out instead. If you
want something practical and quick with
Deepak Chopra's distinctive voice - this is the
book for you to own and keep taking off your
shelf to use over and over and over.
Become a Master of ALL Possibilities.......2006-06-20
Dr Chopra details a highly readable and easy to follow "map" of creating affluence in every area of our lives. He claims that reading the entire book once through, then subsequently reading 5 pages daily will, if adopted as a lifelong habit... attract wealth!
I suppose any positive habit, if practiced daily, will attract the object of your desire, which is, of course, is precisely the idea.
But, why do we need his or anyone's book to remind us of this tried and true fact?
In my case, I seem to require the reminder to keep my eyes, ears, heart and mind set on the desired goal, rather than focused on the "reality" that IT hasn't shown up yet. Which is so easy to do, isn't it?
Dr Chopra explains how we must live in harmony with what we want for the best, fastest result. This might mean simplifying your life, reducing chaos, resolving unhealthy relationships and minimizing stress.
Yes, easy for him to say... he meditates a million hours a week, no doubt, and probably began before leaving the womb!
I respect him immensely, and wheras I do not buy everything he has written, I do have a few of his books and this one has been particularly beneficial.
I use this book each morning (reading only a tiny section) in conjunction with Wayne Dyer's Meditation for Manifesting CD - the AH & OOHM (sound) meditation. I have discovered using the 2 together is working wonders.
AND, yes... I am manifesting my heart's desire. No, not overnight, like everything in life, practice makes perfect!

Save your money !.. Read some Physics books instead .......2005-03-04
This tape is really waste of money. I liked some tapes from Chopra but here he is loosing total focus about what he is talking about.
Deepak chopra must by using some Webster dictionary as he uses ( tries too ) too difficult words which not everyone can understand !
Well, about affluence here ?. Am I listening to some metaphysics session ?. TOTALLY OUT OF FOCUS Sir !
Don't waste your money and ask for refund. Totally out of focus and waste of money.
I hope someone understands about what he is talking about. I wish I could have returned this. Anyway this is my last tape from Deepak chopra.
I would recommend Catherine Ponder's books instead.

Talk about an audacious title! But Suze (pronounced "Suzie") Orman means business in this anecdote-rich compendium of tips on 401(k)s, marriage, homes, and happiness. The PBS star/financial adviser has made plenty of the mistakes she warns against, like getting a 30-year mortgage instead of a cheaper 15-year, using Visa cards as magic carpets to calamity, and losing $20,000 in borrowed bucks to bum investment advice. Then she became a Merrill Lynch broker and an author capable of selling 10,000 books in 12 minutes on QVC.
Orman's point--in this and her No. 1 bestseller The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom--is that you'd better face fiscal facts and avoid fear, denial, and the self-fulfilling low expectations the novelist William Wharton called "the Poverty Mind." America is a nation of check-bouncing, late-fee-incurring, guilty bad planners. How long will it take to pay off that $3,000 Visa bill with minimum payments? Thirty years, you poor, dear fool! What would you gain if you bought stocks instead of your daily latte for 30 years? $165,152! Her book might've been titled The Courage Not to Be a Self-Sabotaging Neurotic.
Orman is the Andrew Weil of money health--she yearns to enrich your life emotionally, too. If you can't stand discussions of the psychological origins of fiscal decisions, or self-help lingo like "money is attracted to people who are strong and powerful, respectful of it, and open to receiving it," you'll want a more nuts-and-bolts adviser. If you want pep talk, true tales of woe and makeovers, and a jolt of a true pop culture phenomenon, Suze is for you. --Tim Appelo

It helped me!.......2007-07-30
I'm a little sorry to see all of the negative reviews this book has gotten, since I found it to be one of the most eye-opening things I've ever read and, by following some of its advice, have gotten my finances into better shape than they have been in years.
Let me clarify some things. This is not a book for the financially advanced, for professionial money managers or financial advisors, or for stock brokers. The intended audience here is the "Average Person" who works at something else every day but wants to better understand how to handle their money. This person probably has credit card debt, spotty savings, and some bad financial habits. I had none of those things when I picked up this book and I still learned tons from reading it.
The principal message here is that being rich begins with your thoughts. They way we think about money determines to a huge degree what we do with it, how we invest it, and how we spend it. I think no one will deny that fundamental truth, but Suze's gift is finding the ways to connect our thoughts with practical advice to change bad habits for the better. Many people could make a few simple changes in their lives and end up with a lot more money, and over time, that could mean real wealth.
It is true that some of the conclusions here will seem obvious to the financially savvy. But I question the idea that this is all "repackaged common knowledge." It isn't. Her messages are of the kind that bear repeating. How many people still buy a $3.50 latte every morning, stick thousands of dollars in a bank savings account at 1% interest, and have credit card debt well beyond what they can afford? If it were so obvious that these are unwise things to do with money, fewer people would do them! Suze shows that it's not enough just to recognize financially unhealthy behavior, you must also understand your personal history with money, the way you have been taught to think about it and value it, and understand how that history influences your financial decisions. Her recognition of the emotional value of money gives her the edge over other financial how-to books, which typically assume that money is a raw numbers game. It's much more than that, and Suze is right on insisting so.
Her most controversial advice is that you, and not a financial planner, must ultimately be responsible for your money, and I think a lot of the one-star ratings below are from frightened financial planners who know that Suze is onto their game. She does not, for the record, say that you should never work with one, but simply acknowledges that the ultimate responsibility for your money is with YOU and not someone you pay to organize your investments. I think she's right, and with all of the online resources available today, there's no reason to be ignorant about how money works in our society. A little more attention from you can mean a lot more peace with your money, and being responsible makes it much easier to make money grow.
One of the best sections of this book comes at the end, when she talks about the importance of giving. I just loved her discussion of how important it is to give and wish everybody would read it! In our greedy world, it's a message that needs to be heard.
I found this book lifechanging and hope others can too.
Repackaged Common Knowledge.......2007-05-17
Suze Orman's Book is well written and thoughtful, that being said, she doesn't provide anything beyond common sense and basic knowledge: Stop accruing debt, live within your means, pay off those high interest credit cards, distinguish between good and bad loans, save money, INVEST YOUR MONEY. All this is the same material you will find in every beginning personal finance book, and online for free. The problem is that after peddling all these little trinkets of knowledge, with an over indulgent helping of self-pity, she doesn't help you make a plan or answer some fundamental questions. Like...HOW? This book does not provide the basic mechanics of how to do what she says, and gives no details on how (in financial basics) she got where she is. How do I redistribute my debt so I can pay it off (what is a good time horizon), how should I save money so I don't get burned out by saving, how do I mentally control my spending, and most importantly how do I invest the darn money? If you tel people to save and invest, you need to give them a hint of a plan (e.g., save 10% of every paycheck, but no more, so you grow to hate saving money) or maybe also just a single chapter on where to invest the money beyond, use your 401(k). Maybe one on why being too risk averse is bad. Ultimately, this book simply provides abstract goals, that require you to go out and get another book to help you get perspective on getting there. So just skip it, and get the next book.
First step to getting rich.......2006-08-29
This book is so important. I swear she should write school courses for children K-12 & beyond because she is so wonderfuly full of knowledge and sound advice. I strongly urge everyone to buy this book if not for yourself then for someone you love. It is so enlightening you will not want to put it down.
Commen Sense Not Courage.......2006-08-03
This book is concisely written and reader-friendly.
The question and answer format in Chapters 8, 9 and 10 are pointed and helpful. There was obviously a lot of thought into choosing which questions to ask, because they're pertinent things we need to know, but most of us don't know.
Orman deserves credit not only for her advice but for her attitude and viewpoints on many financially related cultural aspects of our lives. One quote I liked on page 104 about carsis : "It's not a component of the American dream. It's certainly a component of our collective consumer machismo." Her following formula of investing at +X percent vs. a car payment at -X percent lead to some serious numeric differences. Meaning if you add it up, you may have placed your Opportunity Cost of car ownership (with monthly payments) to be about +$500,000 or a loss of -$500,000 dollars.
Most of the points in this book are for the neophyte. Or those who haven't thought much about incoming and outgoing expenses recently as our routine in life gets busy and complex. Many anecdotes are basically short-story case stories about some of the situations her past clients have been in, how they got there, and what was done to get them out of their predicament. You can read the chapters in any order. It's a good thing. The only thing I would change is the title. Instead of the "Courage to be Rich," I might call it the "Courage to Have a Manageable Debt-ratio." :)
LAW OF ATTRACTING MONEY.......2006-06-01
I have long been a fan of The Suze Orman Show on CNBC so I do not know why it took me so long to read one of her books. Her advice is always right on the mark about finances and this book is perfectly in line with that. She has plenty of great advice on buying a home, explaining mortgages, and how to decide which life insurance policy, annuity, or bonds are best for you. The book will be very useful for anyone who needs easy to understand descriptions of these financial concerns.
Most financial books I have read are mind-numbingly dull, and written by experts who appear to have nothing but money on their minds. Suze's book is written for everyone and it reflects a sincere concern for people and bettering the quality of their lives by helping them understand the world of money. The great warmth of her personality makes you sincerely believe she wants you to have the Courage to be Rich.
The book lives up to its fantastic title. What is most striking about Suze Orman's approach to finances is she talks about the emotional reasons why we end up with credit card debt or are afraid to spend money on a vacation. She looks at the deep psychological beliefs we all have about money, and she teaches how to think in terms of abundance rather than scarcity to allow money its proper place in our lives. Although she does not mention the Law of Attraction (see my review on Lynn Grabhorn's Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting) her principles are largely the same. She is also a women of great heart. She ends the book by telling us what to do with the money once we have had the courage to be rich. She talks about giving to charity and how generosity only increases our financial, and more importantly, our spiritual abundance. I wholeheartedly trust Suze Orman's advice, not simply because she knows about money, but because her sincerity and generosity of character shine forth on every page. Read this book no matter how much money you have. You won't be disappointed.

Book Description
This witty guide advises readers to stop playing the stock market or listening to television gurus and instead put their money into dividend-paying, moderate-growth companies that offer consistent returns and minimum risk. Citing statistics that show companies initiating and raising dividends at the fastest rate in 30 years, this analysis declares once-stodgy dividends to be "the next new thing" and provides simple rules for choosing the best stocks, using traditional evaluation tools, reinvesting dividends, comparing stocks and bonds, and building a portfolio. Technical aspects of the stock market are explained in the final pages that include two new chapters and revised statistics as well as academic studies, historic back-tests, examples of real-time performance, and a list of resources for further research.

Interesting Advocate of 100% Stock Asset Allocation .......2007-07-08
I am a great fan of passive index funds. I also hate the idea of owning bonds and have toyed with the idea of replacing bonds in my asset allocation with high dividend stocks from high quality companies. Historically, high dividend stocks from high quality companies have declined less than the S&P 500 in Bear Markets. The current 15% tax rate on dividends is also more favorable to holding high dividend paying stocks in taxable accounts.
Miller hates bonds as much as I do......and advocates a 100% stock portfolio several times in the book.
Miller contends that an investor can construct a 100% stock portfolio that has lower risk and a higher return than a conventional 60:40 stock and bond portfolio.
Miller repeats the age old saying that "Dividends Don't Lie".......and we recently learned about how many managements can lie ala Enron and WorldCom. Miller calls the period 1990-2003 the Dividend Dark Ages where companies reduced the amounts of dividends paid and focused on increase stock prices.......including creative accounting....so executives stock options would be worth more to them.
Miller gives specific guidelines on how to select high quality companies with great prospects for long term increases in dividend growth.
Although Miller is more an active versus a passive investor, his technicques are likely to yield returns close to index fund returns.
Over-all an interesting read and his suggestion to replace a 60:40 conventional stock and bond portfolio with 100% dividend paying stocks is great food for thought.

Among the Best Investing Books Available.......2006-07-25
I've read dozens of investing "classics" and this one ranks high among them. It's engangingly written without being pushy or arrogant. The advice it contains is convincing, wise, and timeless.
good investment book .......2006-07-04
I read geraldine weiss investment books, and made up my mind to keep studying dividend investing; actually it is one of the best strategies to employ in hard markets like the one we are experiencing; the volatiliy is relatively low compared to other different strategies, and long term results could be substantial.
Good and well researched book
simply a SMART strategy.......1999-08-29
this is a great book. O'Higgin's book on buying the Dogs of the Dow was a good book, and it made sense: buy quality when it is cheap. Well, Miller's book makes sense, too. In fact, it makes so much sense, that you wonder "why, of course, that's the way to make money". This book reminds you how important dividends are (some 70% of stocks' returns over the past 50 years), and how significant compounding can be. ("yeah, yeah, yeah" you say, but how about 20+% annual return per year on an investment in a solid, low risk company? Miller tells you how.) Though this is not the kind of book that appeals to day-traders, or "hot stock" investors, it is the kind of book that should appeal to smart investors.
One of the best investment books so far!.......1999-07-19
"Single Best Investment" is an intelligent, easy to understand and yet a rather entertaining book that should be of equal interest to a wide spectrum of investors, from beginners to professionals. Based on a common sense approach of time value and compounding, it guides investors toward creating portfolios that will result in consistent returns without playing the market. "Single Best Investment" is one of the few proven and effective strategies that make sense to investors around the world and will never go out of style.
Book Description
Bestselling author Riane Eisler (The Chalice and the Blade, which has sold more than 500,000 copies sold) shows that at the root of all of society's big problems is the fact that we don?t value what matters. She then presents a radical reformulation of economics priorities focused on activities of caring and caregiving at the individual, organizational, societal, and environmental levels.
Customer Reviews:
A good, but not great, book with an inspiring theme.......2007-09-09
I missed Riane Eisler's recent talk at the PARC Forum, but the abstract was so inspiring, I bought the book. As with many (all?) the other reviewers thus far, I support the basic notion of "caring economics": elevating the valuation of traditionally feminine activities such as caring and caregiving. I support partnership over domination (though don't know what to make of "hierarchies of actualization"), and the establishment of rules, tools and schools that offer a more comprehensive accounting - and accountability - within economics, that will incorporate the social and environmental dimensions more effectively, and eliminate "externalities" - costs that corporations can pass on to "external" stakeholders (as opposed to stockholders).
The other reviewers have done a great job at highlighting many of the positive aspects of this book. I wanted to offer a slightly dissenting opinion, based on three issues that bothered me. One is that I believe the book is about twice as long as it needs to be. There is considerable redundancy, and by the last few chapters, I found myself growing increasingly annoyed as she repeatedly repeated ideas and themes covered [well] in other chapters. As with some other books I've read, it strikes me as a potentially fabulous journal-length article that was stretched too far. A brief perusal of her paper on "Work, Values, Caring" available on her PartnershipWay web site suggests that this paper may cover much of the content in the book, in a much shorter space.
A second shortcoming I see in the book is a lack of reference to either Milton Mayeroff's classic work ON CARING or to Yochai Benkler's more recent paradigm-shifting book, THE WEALTH OF NETWORKS: HOW SOCIAL PRODUCTION TRANSFORMS MARKETS AND FREEDOM. The book is replete with many useful references, and every author must be selective about the references she or he includes, but I would think that either of the two aforementioned books would be required reading for anyone interested in caring economics.
The third shortcoming I see in this book is its rather pre-emptory dismissal of "selfish genes". I recently [finally] read THE SELFISH GENE, by Richard Dawkins, and although I like to believe in (and practice) altruism, I had to admit that Dawkins makes a compelling case for how and why our genes are selfish operators ... and thus why altruism doesn't make sense at the genetic level. Now, we are not our genes, and I like to believe we are more than simply containers for them to propagate themselves, and as our actions - and inactions - have increasingly far-reaching impacts on others throughout our increasingly interconnected planet, there may be good reasons why caring for others (who do not carry our genes) is worthwhile, and why we might want to give up domination for partnership. However, Eisler's quick dismissal of "selfish genes" in several passages leads me to wonder whether she's read Dawkins' book, or simply the other references she invokes that take a contrarian view. She seems to be attached to making "evolutionary" claims with respect to caring economics. I think the impact can be just as strong without invoking evolution ... and invoking evolution while summarily dismissing what I view as its most compelling modern articulation only weakens the impact.
I hope we will be willing and able to redefine economics to take into account the social and environmental costs and benefits that are currently ignored. I believe that THE REAL WEALTH OF NETWORKS offers some compelling arguments for how and why we can do this. I do not recommend that people not read this book because of the shortcomings I cited - I am still glad I read the book. I just wanted to offer a perspective that may be of some value to others who are considering the book, or at least to help set expectations (for anyone who shares my prejudices).
Brilliant!.......2007-07-19
Along with "The chalice and the Blade" and "Sacred Pleasure" this is the most profound, important and amazing book i have ever read - it changed my life! this should be a compulsory course at all self-respecting universities. Everyone in the world should either read or be aware of what these three books are talking about, then we'll not only have hope but a blueprint for a better world. i have half the mind to post it to our prime minister right now :)
thank you Dr Eisler, from me and all the people and future generations that will benefit from your determination, knowledge and work!!!
Very important book albeit with varying levels of practical application.......2007-07-08
This book was my first interaction with the work of Dr. Eisler and I was deeply moved by the concept of partnership and the need to place a higher value on caring and traditionally 'feminine' values.
The finance major in me was left very impressed at times, and rather disappointed at other times throughout the book. Dr. Eisler makes use of some great examples of companies that increase productivity, decrease turnover and breed hierarchies of actualization, specifically naming a software company that had daycare on site. She also discusses some great examples of how Scandanavian countries include fathers in the child-raising process, citing an example that requires couples having children take a combined 16 weeks off to care for the child and at least 6 of those weeks must be the working parent.
I was a little disappointed that she used life expectancy and GDP as measures of how well women were treated in different countries. Her point is well taken, but statistics betray her. She discusses France and Kuwait having similar GDPs, but France having significantly more gender equality thus yielding longer lives, etc. This specific example is true enough, but women are treated much more as equals in Scandanavian countries than they are in Japan, and yet they live longer in Japan.
She is rightfully very critical of executive compensation, short-term thinking, materialism and the ongoing dispute about what resources should be in public hands and which should be in private hands that plague globalization. She correctly points out that many resources and services can be most efficiently provided locally. As I turned the pages, I was hoping she would address some of the benefits of globalization, which in fact have gone a long way establish peace. Certainly the U.S. government worked hard to establish good relations with Pakistan and India, begging them to get along instead of prolonging the bloodshed over Kashmir. However, some of the greatest forces for good in that situation were none other than large, globalized communications firms with infrastructure and employees in both countries. Relative peace was brought about by these companies who provide employment and stability in these regions who had senior leaders sit down with government leaders and explain that their nervousness over their continued fighting would compel many investors to withdraw. Had Dr. Eisler mentioned this example (or countless others) I think she would have been able to more precisely point out improvements in globalization, rather than simply deducing that globalization isn't always the best solution.
Dr. Eisler's diagrams of the missing pieces in measuring economics was most insightful and useful, as were the statistics she provided that showed spending more education now equals spending less on prisons later.
Dr. Eisler risks alienating people who would be predisposed to be some of her most avid supporters when she takes excerpts out of religious texts and adlibs her opinions as if they were facts represented in the religious text. There is certainly no doubt that atrocities have been committed by those claiming religious titles, rights and missions, but even most of the examples she sites as the paragons of domination (the Taliban, the Ayatollah in Iran, Hitler and Stalin) are primarily secular in nature (the Ayatollah being the only religious figure). As a Christian, I will tell you that I want to vomit when I hear Falwell attribute 9/11 to feminism or Robertson attribute Katrina to tolerance of homosexuality. I will also tell you that 'love your neighbor as thyself' is very much a cornerstone of partnership (and there are many more examples of these).
Dr. Eisler is also rightfully critical of the Bush Administration and their unilateral foreign policy, preemptive warfare doctrine, fiscal irresponsibility and environmental 'blinders.' I agree with most of her criticisms, usually for different reasons than the those she mentions. Having read an interview she gave after 9/11 where she surprises the interviewer by indicating that war against terrorism is necessary, I have to wonder what her opinion is of how western countries should address Iran. It's certainly valid to criticize preemptive warfare, but what if one of the premier dominators in the world is pursuing a nuke? Do we wait until he gains equal military power? Do we allow him to disconnect his society from the rest of the world where women continue to be subject to circumcision and mistreatment if they are not sufficiently subordinate?
In this review I went to some lengths to justify my critiques, whereas I think my praise of Dr. Eisler's work speaks for itself. It may appear that I spent much more time discussing my critiques, and that is the reason why.
This book is by far one of the best I've ever read and I hope someday to see it included as required reading in grade school curriculums (3rd grade or so).
An excellent survey.......2007-06-17
Social scientist Riane Eisler provides a different approach to economics in THE REAL WEALTH OF NATIONS: CREATING A CARING ECONOMICS. Where Alan Smith's classic provided the first and lasting explanation of how modern economics works as a market-driven force, REAL WEALTH OF NATIONS goes a step further for college-level and business holdings, building upon Smith's concepts to show the real wealth of nations lies in the contributions of people and environment. The idea is that caring for people and the environment builds the real wealth - and he proposes a new 'caring economics' which moves from the microcosm of the household to communities and nature to promote new values beyond stereotypes. An excellent survey any college-level collection strong in social science will want.

Knowledge is Power.......2007-06-09
Riane Eisler once again inspires and creates personal revolutions with her revelations. This book flows naturally from her previous work, something her readers await and rejoice. Intense insights and a trampolin for more adventurous change in the way we see the world. Highly recommended if one cares to think really differently. It gives you more than hope, it brings you a certainty that we can create a marvelous world together if we change our mindset. All based on sound science and well researched history or pre-history. No self help, only pure common sense. All the good words can not describe how intense this experience is. Just read the book and judge for yourself.
