I Can Make You Rich by Paul McKenna

I Can Make You Rich consists of two parts - The Psychology of Wealth & Let's Go Make Money!

In the first half of the book, The Pyschology of Wealth includes methods of revamping your financial blueprint. McKenna adapted some concepts from Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich as well as Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad. The book is equipped with a free hypnosis CD to be used in conjunction with the various book exercises. Part I of the book seeks to unravel all the negative thoughts about money that one could have, so that one is ready for the next part of the book...

Part II, Let's Go Make Money! consists of the following chapters:
  • How to Make Money
  • Assembling your Wealth Team
  • A Proven Formula for Success
  • The Simplest Business Plan in the World
  • The Three Skills that Lead to Riches
  • The Secrets of Living Rich
I Can Make You Rich is a very simple book to read. It is centred around the psychology of the human mind and how influencing the mind could lead you to a richer (not necessarily in the money sense) and happier life.

Overall Rating: 9/10

You and Your Money by Lois A. Vitt & Karen L. Murrell


I received this book as a gift from Wee Keat and Hwee Peng for my birthday.
You and Your Money is a very handy book for anyone that wants to start educating themselves financially. The authors use case studies of various individuals and their predicaments to illustrate their points throughout the book.
Even if you are already well-versed in financial education, You and Your Money contains a short little test that you could take to determine your values type. With the assessment, you can better understand yourself and how to minimise conflict with your family or spouse.
The down side of the book, I would critic, is that it gets dreary sometimes with too many examples.

Why We Want You To Be Rich -- Donald Trump with Robert Kiyosaki

This is a book written by a billionaire and a millionaire. It seeks to explain the reason why this both individuals are actively writing books and creating games to get people to be rich.

The book started off with how Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki got together to pen the book. In each chapter, both of them use different font types to indicate the author for that portion of words.

From this book, you can actually understand their background and how they became rich. They state the problems that the US and most of the world are facing. Why We Want You To Be Rich also gives pointers as to what you should start doing or embarking on.

To me, this book also sought to promote their own products and trainings. It also acted as a platform for them to retaliate their critics. But all in all, it was informative enough for someone who hadn't finished the Rich Dad series. There are snippets from each of the Rich Dad books.

Overall, I would rate this book 7/10
