Lots of Information About What You Don't Know About Money
I have purchased many '
money
' books over the years, and, for the most part, most of them are filled with pages and pages of 'nothing new' information (like how many times do you need to be told to do a budget?). This book is very different. First, it contains NO fluff. It's filled with meaty stuff and one needs to be able to focus and concentrate in order to digest it all. It not only gives you valuable new ways to view money;it also gives you an inside look at the Jewish culture and why so many Jewish people are wealthy. I'm only a quarter of the way through the book, but It's already changed my attitude about money, in a positive way. This book can help you make more money if you're in business, just by changing your the way you currently approach sales. If you're looking for a substantial book on money and how to view it from a 'hope someday to be properous' perspective - this book can only help.

An anomoly among published works under the category of business
I would venture to say that among books writ
ten under
the genre of business, this title sits among the top 10 that I have read within the past 2 decades. This endorsement is from an individual whose library includes every Peter Drucker, Michael Porter, Marcus Buckingham, Steven Covey, Theodore Levitt, among others, currently in print. The utter clarity with which the author conveys his perspective is second to none. The 10
commandments
are fluid, logical, and are given true depth with each analogy drawn from the Jewish experience and steeped within a holistic, integrity based approach to business. I will not detail the content of this gem here; only to say it is worth the investment of time and
money
. I also recommend the audible version on [...] The total cd's required to burn amounts to approximately 15 for a 10 hour program. I came across the audio version first and was so impressed I was compelled to follow up with the book.
Allow me to suggest something: the recommendations inside are highly practical and should be recorded somewhere to put into play when one is ready to engage what's being said. Few titles in business today enhances the human perspectives such as this. It is once again, highly recommended.

Parts that are Slow and Parts that are Very Good
Alot of insight in this book in dealing with the mindset of the Jewish lifestyle and work ethic. There are parts that drag on too far BUT there are really good Chapters that have provided me insight into ideas that I had not previously considered. Overall....it's worth reading.
Really is Outstanding
I read 129 books last year and 130 so far this year. This ranks up amongst one of the best books I've ever read. It puts financial princples into simple terms and intertwines wealth with morality and doing good for society. I hope to meet the author one day. Bravo.
Thou Shall Prosper
I enjoyed Rabbi Lapin's book and his unimpeachable insight into the ethical business model. As a union member, I am privy to much of the on going corporate treachery that he obviously is not aware of. This by no means is an idictment against business in general but there are certain business enterprises that the government encourages union participation because of the obvious mmistreatment of employees that is historically evident. (Railroads, Mining, Autoworkers, etc.) I would recommend this book to anyone who is entering into business and I also look forward to reading some of the author's other writings. I subsequently purchased this book as a gift for my son who is in the construction business.
