What a bunch of c#@!s&6 The farther I got into reading this book the less I read, the more I skimmed, and the more upset I got that I wasted a credit on this book - and now I will have to pay postage to ship it to some unsuspecting person - or should I recycle it instead?

I read the first section with an open mind - about how our mind blueprint is made up... and needs to be re-programmed. Our programming leads to our thoughts... thoughts lead to feelings... feelings lead to actions... actions lead to results.

OK, but Eker lost me when he went into his 17 Wealth Files - ways that rich people think differently than poor people like "Rich people think big. Poor people think small"

He put we way over the edge with his psycho-babble about "place your hand over your heart and say this positive declaration 'I think big! I choose to help thousands and thousands of people' then touch your head and say...'I have a millionaire mind'".

Good luck "mastering the inner game of wealth" with this book as your guide. But wait, there's more! I almost forgot the commercials about his conferences and websites where you can get more of this c#@!s&6.

This book is #1 on my ***Top Ten List*** of the worst personal finance books in the universe.

Eker's claim to fame is that he took a $2,000 credit card loan, opened "one of the first fitness stores in North America," turned it into a chain of 10 within two and a half years and sold it in 1987 for a cool (but somewhat modest-seeming) $1.6 million. Now the Vancouver-based entrepreneur traverses the continent with his "Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar," on which this debut motivational business manual is based. What sets it apart is Eker's focus on the way people think and feel about money and his canny, class-based analyses of broad differences among groups. In rat-a-tat, "Let me explain" seminar-speak, Eker asks readers to think back to their childhoods and pick apart the lessons they passively absorbed from parents and others about money. With such psychological nuggets as "Rich people focus on opportunities/ Poor people focus on obstacles," Eker puts a positive spin on stereotypes, arguing that poverty begins, or rather, is allowed to continue, in one's imagination first, with actual material life becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. To that end, Eker counsels for admiration and against resentment, for positivity, self-promotion and thinking big and against wallowing, self-abnegation and small-mindedness. While much of the advice is self-evident, Eker's contribution is permission to think of one's financial foibles as a kind of mental illnessone, he says, that has a ready set of cures.

I would never have bought this book myself, it was a gift from my mother after I made a joke about wanting to win the lottery as my birthday present. Anyway, it is a bunch of nonsense - if you think about what you want, you will get what you want. Please. Anyway, I did manage to finish the book, but only because there was nothing good on tv.

This is a timely, relevant book with logical explanations as to why most people are "just getting by". Harv advocates a change in thinking, letting go of old paradigms and programming that we acquired as children as we listened to the adults around us. "Money doesn't grow on trees", "What am I, made of money?", "champagne taste, beer money". It's time to let go of all that and create your own life, based on your future -- where you want be -- and not on the past -- where you've been. Your history doesn't determine your future unless you let it. I highly recommend this book. I won't be trading this one. It's a keeper!

The book is more or less an infomercial for his website and seminars.
