Increase Your Quality of Life, Read this Book May 2, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've truly enjoyed reading this book. Lapin is funny and has perfect examples of the principals he teaches. I haven't gotten wealthy yet but I've drastically improved my quality of life and I haven't even gotten all the way through the book. These principals have withstood the test of time, and Lapin lets you see them in a new light, with greater understanding, making it easier to become proficient at them.
Should be Required Reading April 9, 2008

The author thoroughly explains exactly what is taught in Jewish homes and why. It makes so much sense. He shows where the bias is against business so that you realize to what degree you have that bias. This book is not like so many other rah rah books that proclaim how you too can be rich. He fleshes out these ten commandments without fluff. Ejoyable and re-readable.
 Parts that are Slow and Parts that are Very Good April 7, 2008

Alot of insight in this book in dealing with the mindset of the Jewish lifestyle and work ethic. There are parts that drag on too far BUT there are really good Chapters that have provided me insight into ideas that I had not previously considered. Overall....it's worth reading.

I enjoyed Rabbi Lapin's book and his unimpeachable insight into the ethical business model. As a union member, I am privy to much of the on going corporate treachery that he obviously is not aware of. This by no means is an idictment against business in general but there are certain business enterprises that the government encourages union participation because of the obvious mmistreatment of employees that is historically evident. (Railroads, Mining, Autoworkers, etc.) I would recommend this book to anyone who is entering into business and I also look forward to reading some of the author's other writings. I subsequently purchased this book as a gift for my son who is in the construction business.
Lots of Information About What You Don't Know About Money March 31, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have purchased many 'money' books over the years, and, for the most part, most of them are filled with pages and pages of 'nothing new' information (like how many times do you need to be told to do a budget?). This book is very different. First, it contains NO fluff. It's filled with meaty stuff and one needs to be able to focus and concentrate in order to digest it all. It not only gives you valuable new ways to view money;it also gives you an inside look at the Jewish culture and why so many Jewish people are wealthy. I'm only a quarter of the way through the book, but It's already changed my attitude about money, in a positive way. This book can help you make more money if you're in business, just by changing your the way you currently approach sales. If you're looking for a substantial book on money and how to view it from a 'hope someday to be properous' perspective - this book can only help.
