Wow. This book is so much more than just about getting rich - it is a complete guide to living your life to the fullest. It teaches you the principles to live by so that riches will just naturally come your way, with a combination of a bit of work, discipline, some good advice, and of course - the right attitude. It teaches us the correct way to look at money. The author, Azizi Ali, tells it like it is - there is no glossing over or B.S. Completely the opposite of those cheesy get-rich-quick sales letters and websites that are a dime-a-dozen online. He writes in a down-to-earth, matter of fact way that is full of empathy and understanding of the plight of the "little guy" trying to make it big - and he should know, because he WAS one himself!! The book is infused with his humor and real experiences and stories from his own life. He has made it big and he knows what he's talking about, but he talks to you like he's your friend - a thoroughly decent, likeable guy, who genuinely wants to help others enjoy the taste of success that he has.He teaches that it is indeed possible for ANYONE to become financially independent, and even rich. As he points out, it is not just about making money (that is only one aspect) - it is the whole picture, which is: making it, keeping it, spending it appropriately, and growing it by way of astute investments and discipline. It is not just about buying the latest toys, or having the biggest house, or having money just for the sake of it. It is about what it represents - freedom, choice, health and overall happiness, plus the ability to expand your mind, build your character and grow your experiences by travelling the world, for example, and enjoying all it has to offer. A lot of it was very thought-provoking, actually. He explains not just how to vastly improve your finances - but how to use your financial gains to live your life. He has been through a lot of life experiences himself, so his advice is sound and carries a lot of weight.Just reading it made me feel so confident and optimistic about my future and finances - more so than I've ever felt. BUY THIS BOOK and for goodness sake, listen to what this guy has to say. He is a wealthy man and he does not have to impart this information to us, or these pearls of wisdom - but luckily for us, he is choosing to do so! If you really absorb it, and follow his positive, no-nonsense principles, and his approach to life in general, then happiness and wealth (how MUCH wealth is up to you) WILL come your way. You have to start at the beginning, and this book tells you how - it's the complete package. It is truly the one you have been waiting for, it's that simple. The title of the book couldn't be more appropriate. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for any other books written by this author. Very highly recommended!!
