 Thou Shall Prosper April 5, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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
8 out of 8 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.
 Really is Outstanding October 3, 2007

I read 129 books last year and 130 so far this year. This ranks up amongst one of the best books I've ever read. It puts financial princples into simple terms and intertwines wealth with morality and doing good for society. I hope to meet the author one day. Bravo.
An anomoly among published works under the category of business January 8, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I would venture to say that among books written under the genre of business, this title sits among the top 10 that I have read within the past 2 decades. This endorsement is from an individual whose library includes every Peter Drucker, Michael Porter, Marcus Buckingham, Steven Covey, Theodore Levitt, among others, currently in print. The utter clarity with which the author conveys his perspective is second to none. The 10 commandments are fluid, logical, and are given true depth with each analogy drawn from the Jewish experience and steeped within a holistic, integrity based approach to business. I will not detail the content of this gem here; only to say it is worth the investment of time and money. I also recommend the audible version on [...] The total cd's required to burn amounts to approximately 15 for a 10 hour program. I came across the audio version first and was so impressed I was compelled to follow up with the book.
Allow me to suggest something: the recommendations inside are highly practical and should be recorded somewhere to put into play when one is ready to engage what's being said. Few titles in business today enhances the human perspectives such as this. It is once again, highly recommended.
Very Helpful November 5, 2006

I've never been a people person, never realized the point of being one, until now. The author put this into perspective for me with this; "Judaism teaches that God designed the system to reward people for not remaining isolated from one another". I also didn't realize my own bias toward the idea of making money. Also, it isn't just about material wealth, it's about properity in all areas of your life, wealth naturally follows. This is about changing your life by changing your attitude and implementing good habits to influence prosperity in one's life. I really enjoyed this book and have recommended to everyone I know.
