Summary: ONE OF THE GREATEST LITTLE STORIES EVER TOLD!
Review: Mark Fisher has written a real gem. The story is perfect and extemely empowering. I do think that for some, however, it may require a "leap of faith" so to speak. Some of the more "rational" types may need to read the Seth books by Jane Roberts in order to get the more technical aspects of how we each create our own reality. I loved the book and thank Mark Fisher for giving it to us.

Summary: Reincarnation Hogwash
Review: Overall I found this book to be a fun read. There are several difficulties however. First, it indirectly promulgates the idea that to become a millionaire one must take all sorts of great risks. In reality before a risk is undertaken it should be understood at some level. Most people that become millionaires understand the necessity for this. Taking unfettered risk is the fastest way to lose everything. Second, it is essentially Think and Grow Rich tranlated into fable format thereby suffering from the same flaws. Third, it is apparently unable to avoid the reincarnation belief trap. This book is not similar to The Richest Man in Babyon. George Clason's book contains extremely good advice for anyone without the mumbo jumbo and without recommending excessive risk. The Instant Millionaire sounds good but is really not in the same class. There is a certain inspirational element to it however and it is a clever enjoyable read.

Summary: Simple, memorable, magical.
Review: Seldom is art of business strategy combined with story telling in such a powerful way. I've read a number of other books on similar subject matter only to forget them moments later. Fisher weaves a powerful web of truth in a way that makes this book easy to read, but difficult to forget.

Summary: If you only ever read one self-help book make it this one
Review: The best book by far I have read on self development, and I have trawled through a fair few in my time. The format of a tale or fable works very well and happily avoids the pitfalls of pretentiousness and self indulgence that other books of this nature are prone. The answers and principles contained within are not new of course but the way in which these are presented have an impact like no other book. For anyone interested in improving themselves, financially or otherwise, this book really is a must read.

Summary: The Instant Millionaire : A Tale of Wisdom and Wealth
Review: The book has tremendous power. Somehow it distills every "how-to" or "success" book into one easy to read and re-read parable. I have purchased 25-30 copies over the years and passed them out to friends. This is my favorite book and I has become part of my daily routine. Every day I read a random paragraph - it always has a special meaning for me. It works on several levels and is about much more than just making money.

Summary: Simple Truth
Review: The book read fast, and it is a metaphor that can apply to any person seeking wealth. It points to the simple truth - that wealth begins by accessing the resources within and by using one's imagination.
Just like some of the reviewers of this book, the protagonist of the story is originally convinced that there is nothing much to be said or had from the power of one's imagination. He is then led through personal experiences which points to the contrary (it's what in hypnosis, we'd call a "suggestibility test").
The protagonist also learns that to move forward toward the achievement of his dreams he has to dare and to take action. It's true - world belongs to those who dare to dream and then dare to take action.
It is also true that there are numerous other books written on the same topic using more or less similar metaphors and that from that perspective the book may not be original. But then, this also reminds me of some stories told by Tony Robbins and many others about people complaining that the one instructing them is saying the same thing over and over and over again, wondering if the instructor has become senile and doesn't remember he has said the same thing before, many, many times -
to which the instructor replies - "yes, and I'll keep on repeating it until you actually put that information to use".
One doesn't learn from reading the books, no matter how informative books may be. One learns by using the information. He ownes it only once he has lived through it in his own experience.
The truth is simple, but some people get so very disappointed to hear the simple things over and over again. They think that in order for something to work, it has to be complicated, so that they have something to do with all their time, spending a life-time getting to something that was so simple and straightforward in the first place - looking for revelations everywere else except where they should go looking in the first place. All the wealth, financial or wealth of any other kind, whatever a human being may seek, begins right within one's mind.
The essential truth about creating wealth will never be anything else than what is portrayed in this book and if metaphors are created and more books are written, the only thing that will change are the protagonists and fillers that make the story interesting.
If everyone already KNEW these truths, they wouldn't experience any lack, and until such time, books like these are valuable, because one of them may just do the trick and motivate the individuals suffering from lack to actually use the information.

Summary: Insight on reaching your full potential
Review: The Instant Millionaire - A Tale Of Wisdom And Wealth, by Mark Fisher Simply put, 15 chapters of mystery, theory, and psychology. If this doesn't open your mind to a new reality and perspective on your financial self-worth, I don't think anything will. Mr. Fisher writes this fable in the same style and format of bedtime stories that you listened to as a kid. The author is in fact a self-made millionaire that implemented this process himself in his own life. This story is based on Mark Fishers experience when he met an old man who passed on his secret to success to Mark. The bottom line is that financial prosperity and a life well-lived are goals we can all achieve if we understand and practice the principles of success. I highly recommend this book, and suggest you read it to your spouse or children at bed time, as it is an adult fable to be remembered.

Summary: Waste of Time - Trite Message: "Believe in Yourself"
Review: There's nothing in this book that isn't already in a bazillion other books. I listened to the audio book, and over 2 hours later, the only significant message to be peeled from the slow-moving, over-dramatized story was simply : set goals for yourself, and believe in your ability to achieve them. That's got to be the most common advice in every self-help, wealth-building, and children's book out there. Sure, it's good advice, but do we need yet another book to tell us that? There was absolutely no tangible, ready-to-apply financial advice in the book. In the end, the old millionaire simply gives the young, struggling, wealth-seeking man $25,000 to start his own endeavor. So it would seem that the way to become an "instant millionaire" is to simply ask an existing millionaire for money. If you really want to become a millionaire, don't expect this book to help.
