This is NOT a text book for path to riches... These are CONCISE TRUTHS!
I don't have time to wade through hundreds of pages of repetitive personal stories about how some individuals achieved great wealth.
The concepts in this book are powerful.. and thoughtful. My daughters have been blessed with this book... as well as my workers in the 3rd world.
"Read and achieve"!
 Nothing new to this genera of investing topics July 13, 2008

These concepts are pretty well known in other books that have come before this one. As far as deep content, this book is really missing. The content is very high level, and about 80% motivational, no step by step or in-depth analysis approaches. Very little real world application like the "Missed Fortune" series by Doug Andrew.
If you're looking for just motivational martial then this is a pretty OK read. However most of the concepts seem to emulate authors like Robert Kiyosaki, in fact if you have read any of the "Rich Dad" series then this book is somewhat a waste of time and won't really bring you any new concepts, as I listened to it, it almost seems to repeat phrase for phrase some of Kiyosaki's books...
If you're a seasoned researcher in these genera of books, then I would pass this book up. However if your new to these types of books then it definitely will put you on the right track for investing/building wealth.
 WOW...this book was beyond ridiculous July 3, 2008

This book is an incredibly short and silly self-indulgent book about what a wonderful person the author is. Specifically he mentions over and over again how rich people like him are wonderful and that the middle-class sucks. I bought the book for insights on making money, but there weren't any!
Aside from having no practical value, I couldn't believe how mean-spirited the book is. For example he writes that Millionaires are generous and the middle-class is stingy. He bases that accusation on the fact that he and his wife once bought a group of "scary" black kids a pizza. I'm not making this up! This book was so dumb and lacking any substance that I think the other people who reviewed this must be paid company employees. I can't imagine any intelligent person who has actually read this book giving it more than 1 star.
This book was also so short that I felt ripped off. It's more like a pamphlet than a book, but at the same time the meager content is so full of holes and inconsistencies that I wouldn't have wanted it to be any longer.
I wish I hadn't wasted my money on this garbage. There are sooo many better books out there about personal finance and how to make money. Just so you know, I am not usually a critical person. I love books in general, and typically enjoy about anything I read, so I really mean it when I say this book had little to no value. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK.
One of my greatest gifts June 13, 2008
Someone handed me this book and told me I needed to read it. It must have been an angel because, I don't know who gave the book to me, but, who ever it was gave me one of my greatest gifts. Keith gives you the nuts and bolts without a lot of fluff. Its brief, to the point, and it works. I have been using and teaching his distinctions with my Church group for the last several months and we are experiencing miraculous things. Read it fast, but savor the lessons and use them over and over again. I no longer think day to day, week to week or month to month.
 Quickly written, quickly read... but good. June 8, 2008

This is not a great book, but it is a good book. The author says he wrote the book in a very short amount of time, and it shows. He could have made another pass at his thoughts and maybe tightened up the text and organized it better... it would have helped, although the book would have been even shorter.
However, the information is decent and he does point out some solid foundational concepts you should know about moving from the middle class to becoming a millionaire. For a more thorough discussion of these principles, and more, read Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth.
In the end, I recommend you read it if you are interested in learning how money happens and the type of person it takes to get it.
