This is a wonderful story about how a man achieves his dream of becoming wealthy. Not just rich, but wealthy. Its told as an allegory. Its actually quite similar to The Instant Millionaire, but longer and more realistic. If you liked The Instant Millionaire, you'll love this book.
Through the power of allegory, the author changes the way we think. Our emotions get hooked, creating a powerful force to help us achieve financial success.
I love this book. Thank you, Mark Fisher!

This book has a lot of heart. By the last page, you want so badly for it to have been a true story. I have read this and reread this time and time again...and always recommend it to friends (i even had to buy another copy because another friend "borrowed" it and love it so much he kept it! It really is a great story.

The Power of Positive Thinking

This book really helped me to get out of the rut of negativity that I have been in for the past year and a half. It gave me the confirmation that I needed to step out on faith and pursue my passion full time. Everytime I feel my self falling back into my self destructive thoughts I remember the lessons that I learned in the book and make sure to replace my thoughts of defeat with ones full of positive power. :)

Save your money, and avoid this book.
The book suffers on three counts.
First, its prescriptions are nothing that cannot be found in scores of self-help and positive thinking books, most notably the works of Norman Vincent Peale.
Second, the lessons are woven into a badly-written story, or "parable". There are a lot of these parables floating around right now. I suspect the self-help authors like them because they can be used to dispense moral maxims without the burden of supplying proof or real-life examples. But if you are going to hand people life advice, you ought to be able to back it up. It is too easy to pass out sugar-candy.
Finally, there is a lot of New Age nonsense in this thing. It undermines an already mediocre whole, and it adds nothing of use. Frankly it is weird.

I LOVE the way Mr. Fisher has combined true life lessons and secrets into this easy to read and understand story. There is so much for the mind to absorb from reading this beautifully written book. The true secrets of life -and it goes way past material wealth -are reavealed in this book.
I found this book, -well actually this book found me- at the library when I was searching for another book in the fiction section. I noticed it and thought it looked interesting, so I checked it out, and couldn't believe what a treasure I had found! This is a book that I want to read over and again.
An Excerpt from the book:
"What you write has to reveal what is great about humanity. You have to show how people can attain their own greatness, how they can regain their lost nobility, how having turned to sheep, they can become lions again. Show God resides in each and every one of us...."
