T. Harv Eker is electrifying! He has the ability to transfix readers, motivate and enlighten them, and give them information in a way that they absorb it fully. I've seen and heard a lot of authors and trainers, none are as dynamic as T. Harv Eker. |

This book motivates and gives you easy direction on starting to get ahead. I liked the easy clear way he separates your money after every paycheck. Just doing this one exercise has helped me to start saving and not feel guilty when I want to splurge. Obviously the people that hated this book either already have a positive financial plan so they didn't need this advice, or they just are not ready to change their thought processes a bit. |

"Think Rich To Get Rich", says the book jacket.
In Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Eker, motivational speak and seminar host, gives his valuable insights in to the mentality and thought processes of the rich (and those who are on their way) versus the poor. He frequently compares and contrasts the two classes, not for character flaws, but for "thinking" flaws. He makes a compelling case and I people for fit each of the types he describes.
In the first part of the book he introduces the "Money Blueprint" that each of us carries in our heads. This is the set of ideas and attitudes towards money, work, wealth and success that we pick up from parents, friends, co-workers, etc. This blueprint determines how successful we will be in accumulating wealth. For example, if you think all rich people are bad, then you will probably not become rich (because you do not want to be bad). He contends that you will subconsciously mishandle your resources so that you never succeed in accumulating wealth.
The second and longer part of the book contains Eker's 17 "Wealth Files" or principles for attaining wealth. These are all good, if not particularly new, insights and are valuable even as reminders. He refers to his seminar many times, pulling anecdotes and examples from them. That is OK, but it tends to get old. There is no detailed advice on exactly HOW to gain wealth (other than his general recommendation to purchase real estate), but rather, how to mentally gear up for the process.
This is a good motivational book and most readers should find something to think about.
The only reason I gave this 4 stars is that he plugs his seminar a lot. A LOT. |

This book made a tremendous difference for me in how I perceived wealth and the wealthy. You don't understand how seriously those beliefs affect your bottom line until you start to examine them, which is what this book helps you do. There are so many incredible wealth minded books on the market, Think and Grow Rich, The Richest Man in Babylon, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, etc., and all them do an excellent job of teaching you what TO think, this is the only one I've found that teaches you what NOT TO think as well... Just as critical, if not more so... It doesn't necessarily matter how strong your offense is, if your defense is asleep... Wake it up! It's an important read... You have a millionaire mind! |

This is definitely a book for those who realize they have to change their mindset to break out of the blueprint they've been dealt from parents, family and community. There are so many underlying thoughts and sabotages that we put on ourselves everyday. Each one continues to bring us back to a level that is usually inconsistent with our goals. I talk to many people during the course of the day and I find that too many people have goals that they'll never achieve because of the type of thinking they do on a daily basis.
Eker says, "Give me 5 minutes and I can tell you your financial blueprint." He's right. We each have our own quirks and hold ups. His book helps identify what we've identified with and how we each individually view success.
As a personal trainer, I don't necessarily recommend this book to my clients for fitness and health advice, but I take the principles inside and apply them to fitness success. When it comes down to it, success is all the same. It's a mind set of taking action even when you don't feel like it. It's commitment to your goals. It's being afraid and overcoming your fears. Eker's book talks about all of this as applied to success and it works.
I've purchased other programs by him and they have all been fantastic. I also told a client about him and he went to Canada to go to a seminar and thought he was fantastic.
If you want to expand and learn the secrets of success from someone who's been there, this is a great book for you. |

If you are tired of scraping by month-to-month, tired of putting your future in the hands of others, and you want to revolutionize your financial fortunes, by all means, get and read this book. Part One is a very useful section about your "money blueprint" - namely, the way you have been programmed (by parents, society, school, experience, etc.) to view money and why you will subconsciously support or undermine your own success. Part Two, lists 17 ways in which rich and poor people think differently: e.g., choosing associates, playing to win, committing to win (rather than "not to lose"), focusing on opportunities (rather than obstacles), etc. The book has some very encouraging quotes, e.g.: "Success is a learnable skill. You can learn to succeed in anything… It doesn't matter where you are right now. It doesn't matter where you're starting from. What matters is that you are willing to learn." Or this: "If you're going to climb mount Everest, would you hire a guide who has never been to the summit before, or would it be smarter to find someone who's made it to the top several times and knows exactly how to do it?" Eker describes his own path to becoming a self-made millionaire (many times over), and how he then started an apparently thriving school in the "personal development field," complete with trainers, coaches, seminars, materials and the like. Attitude is certainly a major player, so by all means, put down any resistance you might have and read this book. It can help you.
Two or three things do annoy, however. The first is encapsulated in this quote: "The key to success is to raise your own energy; when you do, people will naturally be attracted to you. And when they show up, bill 'em" (p. 10). Fine principle. However, this book is a study in self over-promotion - every other page, both subtle and overt. By the time you are finished reading the book you'll know this one thing for sure: If you are serious about success, you'll attend the seminars! (Even to question this point is a sign of a negative attitude.) This book is a prolonged advertisement for the seminars.
Second, an inconsistency in the book is the attitude about giving and receiving. Throughout the book, the notion of getting rich in order to give to and help others is stated. However, on the principle, "It's better to give than to receive," Eker says: "Let me put this as elegantly as possible: `What a crock!' That statement is total hogwash…" Hmm. Well then, why get rich to give to others? Why not just keep it? Too bad Gandhi and Mother Teresa did not know about this. They could have saved themselves a lot of pain and trouble. Certainly, Eker is right in pointing out that learning how to receive is a good thing. But perhaps getting and being rich so that you can give to others does not necessarily mean you actually understand the principle of, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."
Third, the book is just "a tad" too general about the way "rich and poor people" think. Wealth File #6 is this: "Rich people admire other rich and successful people. Poor people resent rich and successful people." Actually, the point is about modeling those who have done it themselves and who can inspire you. That's a great point. But as written, this is the worst (most damning?) section of the book and in the very least should be scrapped and rewritten. The story about driving a new black Jaguar to a "lower-end neighborhood in San Diego, delivering turkeys for charity at Christmastime," with the sunroof open, only to have some grimy looking guys use it as a basketball hoop for their beer cans, actually conjures up a few questions: Is flaunting one's success an admirable thing? Is it true that the poor never have good reason to be resentful against the rich? Were you giving the beer can guys the turkeys? In the end, who felt the best: the people who needed and received your charity, or you who were able to give them the charity as you threw the beer cans out of your Jag?
Finally, the notion that the seminars are actually $2,590 and are being given away for FREE (except a small "administration fee" of $97, simply because you bought a book), is just tiring. The opening seminars might actually be worth $100,000 in information, but don't tell me they are free. How is it that the $97 "administration fee" just happens to be one of the main pricing point numbers in sales and marketing? Either make them free or just tell me what the discount is.
Despite these annoyances, in truth they are minor. There are a lot of great and useful things in this book. By all means, buy the book and read it. Then go to the web site and listen to Eker speak for yourself. Then go to a seminar if that is what you decide to do. Whatever you do, change your life for the better.
