The main concept is his Baby Step program, his “proven plan” to get you out of debt and on the road to financial freedom! This is considered his quintessential personal finance book, the one that is the most recommended to people. Notes: As of August 2017, over five million copies have been sold, and the book has been on The Wall Street Journal’s bestsellers list for over 500 weeks. Published: 2003 with the latest content update in 2013. This book will change your life (if you put in the work!) Who This Book is Best For: This book is for someone interested in living their life more in line with their values (even if they don’t know what those values are at the moment. The author goes a step further with the topic of money & values, Only you can do that from the inside out. But it’s not a joke, and buying more stuff isn’t going to make you happier or feel more fulfilled. Sad to say, we live in a world where buying things is jokingly considered therapy. Yet, I do believe that these two aspects are connected. You might be wondering, why is a personal finance guy writing about this? This is fair, as it does seem a bit far-reaching. Not just read about a concept and a fictitious person who dealt with this topic. I also liked the workbook component of it, as people are guided to look inside of themselves and answer honestly. The “tone” that was pervasive in the previous book was significantly less. That being said, I did like this book a lot more than I expected to. So, I didn’t have any high expectations of this follow-up book. The tone was too high-handed and judgy for me to take in the messages, no matter how on point they were. Thoughts: I didn’t care for the previous book, More Than Enough. A lifelong habit of work, diligence, and disciplineĪnd, once you have taken these traits to heart and begin to live them fully, you will have More Than Enough.A need to live life with real intensity.A willingness to be accountable to others.Unity with their spouse (relationships, community, self).The content is based on the ten character traits and values that enable people to live their lives with “more than enough.” I mean, who doesn’t want to be happier and feel fulfilled? Having more than enough to the author means “more than enough fulfillment, happiness from relationships, more hope, more energy, and more reason for being alive!” Which sounds great. “This book is intended to be read, written in, mulled over, and acted on.” The book does this by being both a self-development book + a workbook, where you write your answers down to a series of questions. “This book is a mirror in which you can see yourself it’s not for the weak hearted, lazy, complacent, apathetic, or indifferent.”… “This is for someone ready and willing to face the pain of personal change.” And, if you’re not happy with your answers, then “Changing yourself” is the next step! While that book talked about principles and values, this book helps you analyze where you are within those value points. Quick Summary: This is the follow-up companion book to More Than Enough (the previous book on the list).
