Million Dollar Habits

Summary: If you buy ONE Ringer book, make it THIS one.
Review: Ringer has accomplished with this one simple book what Napoleon Hill spent years attempting, and that is, boiling down the key ingredients to successful living. Not a fluff book, nor a "feel good" book, it's a tell-it-like-it-is tome of what I call "success science". I first read it in 1993, and have since read it several times. And, BTW, my life is quite awesome these days, thanks in large part to the education I received from this book.

Summary: Million Dollar Life
Review: Starting in 1983, I read every success manual I could get my hands on. Think and Grow Rich. How To Get Control of Your TIme and Your Life. Laws of Success. But my life never permanently changed and I couldn't figure out why. Then, about a year ago (2000)I reached a low point and started making some real changes. The way I saw things in my life, in other people, got away from people who sucked the life out of me, etc. Things have continued to get better and better than ever! As I reflected on why my life started to change, I came across my old yellow copy of "Million Dollar Habits." (Complete with stuff written in the margins that I can't even relate to anymore!) As I read through the table of contents and began re-reading the book, I realized what I did last year was I started living each and every habit listed in the book! Now, I am buying myself a new copy and rereading it again. I am also giving it to my teenage daughter for her birthday and my best friend. If you read, believe and put into practice each and every habit (the order in which they are given is not random, it is the order of importance) you will be amazed at the changes that take place in your life. This book should be taught in every school.

Summary: "Entertaining and provocative. A keeper!"
Review: This is the first, but not last book I'll read by Robert Ringer. He has an excellent writing style that wouldn't let me put this book down. I do feel that million dollar habits must be cultivated. They don't come natural- unless you have been born into several generation wealth. Even in that case they must be worked on. This book was not merely about becoming financially rich, rather, changing ones lifestyle. I do not know of the writers origin, but he seems to have lived a rags to riches life. Great read.
