Has anyone read this book?

Some of you may hate it because it's kinda new agey, esoteric, and out there lol. It's kind of like like Think and Grow Rich.

It states that all wealth and success is generated in doing things in a "Certain Way". No matter what you do, in order to achieve success you must do things in this "Certain Way". Everyone who has attained wealth and success has done things in this Certain Way, whether they are conscious of it or not.

It points out how becoming rich has nothing to do with your environment (as long as you are around people), hard work, talent, etc. It is all how you approach it and what your dominant mental attitude is. That's why some people become wealthy by putting in 2 hours of work a day (although rare) and others spend almost the whole day working for years till they attain wealth.

The author uses an example; Two businesses in the same exact industry can go about conducting business in an identical manner, and yet only one of the businessmen end up rich. Why? Because of HOW he did it and the mindset he had behind it

It's one of those books where you have to read between the lines

A nice short insightful book but it isn't even close to TMF IMHO.

I read it a while back, nothing revolutionarily though I agreed with a lot of it.

It's just another one of those books that points out that getting rich is primarily about mindset and how you approach life, which is absolutely true.

Most people do not become rich because they are looking for some shortcut or some mechanical process that would make them rich and they don't realize it is about mindset first. TMF looks at it as the searching for the event instead of process, but there are different ways to phrase it. While searching for this, these people remain poor in their minds, so of course they continue to reflect a poor lifestyle in their reality as well.

I agree 100% with you on that one.

Yeah its one of those books that can honestly be written in one page, but there is much wisdom in its words and between the lines. The mind is F*cking weird


most of the books these days is redundant. Just like with everything else but for some mystical reason... actually i take that back Packards the Persuaders covers all that. Most of my books are from 1940-1980s-early 1990s. Same principles same mindset same discipline...

Very true. I think its because those books express truths and techniques that are timeless and universal, they are the building blocks to all knowledge. I recently have been reading alot about advertising and sales and the old books are definitely the best.

I actually just googled that Persuaders book you mentioned, I wasn't familiar with that one but it looks interesting. Do you have any other books that you suggest everyone should read?

Yessir. @thinkandgrowrich listen to this man! Almanack is crazy because you start seeing the puzzle pieces fit together LONG after you read that book through. And Greene's work is universal, social and political wisdom that has that same effect.

I have just read SOGR and found it amazing; simple and practical. Especially insightful is the gratitude step, good reminders in that section. It fits perfectly with the stage I am at.
I was struggling to understand if 'purpose' is a why or a how. I am leaning towards purpose being a how as in my experience, my desire led to my how, and this book has just reminded me that I need to just act in faith--and with more gratitude. Also considering SOGR was first published in 1910, any books published after would be regurgitations with a twist (which is what is necessary to keep things fresh). And hey considering what I just said this is most probably a regurgitation of earlier work too; the bible being one of them.
