“To desire is to obtain; to aspire is to achieve.”
“You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration:”
How the author had managed to deliver so many helpful lessons in so little number of pages seems most incredible. Self-help or Self-development books are often long and descriptive books, typically attempting to orient the reader along a particular school of thought (which is not a bad thing). But this book is an exception to that rule. An incredible amount of principles are explained in this tiny book, and in such a clear way, with all the characteristics of any other self-help book. I’m certain that this should be a must have book for anyone whose interested in this genre. It won’t take you more than an hour to read the entire book, but you will be surprised how much you’ll come across.

A Refreshing Take on Financial Wisdom
This thoughtful guide offers a unique perspective on managing money that goes beyond the typical financial advice. The author skillfully weaves personal experiences with practical insights, making complex financial concepts easily digestible. The narrative flows smoothly as it challenges conventional thinking about wealth and success, encouraging readers to align their financial decisions with their core values. The writing style is engaging and conversational, making it feel like a chat with a knowledgeable friend rather than a lecture from a financial expert. What stands out is the balanced approach to wealth creation while maintaining personal integrity and well-being. The practical examples and actionable strategies are particularly helpful for anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their relationship with money. While some concepts might seem familiar, the fresh perspective and genuine approach make this an enlightening read that I’d happily recommend to others seeking financial guidance with a conscience.

Where the many, many billions of dollars currently spent on defense are used instead to attack disease rather than each other. Where communities and families aren’t fractured by violence and crime but are united, strong, understanding, and caring. Where everyone’s home is safe, comfortable, and welcoming. Where new technologies are designed to serve humankind, helping us prosper. Where there is plentiful food and water, and we happily share what we have with friends, neighbors, and strangers.
