Harv Eker's Millionaire Mind book

If there's one book I highly recommend (in case you're too busy to read many books), it's The Millionaire Mind, by Harv Eker.

He offers wealth-creation insights as well as inpirational stories.

Such as the story about how he himself was forced to go back to live with his parents three times, after his business failures. One day, a rich friend of his father's saw him and, probably at the behest of his father, gave him a critical insight. "Rich people think alike," he told Harv.

(This reminds me of Wayne Dyer's "Abundance is not something we acquire, but something we tune into.")

This mysterious, infinite source of wealth that rich people are able to "tune into," is what Harv Eker tries to teach through his book and seminars.

However, do not expect the book to offer recipes or procedures on how to actually become rich. What you get is higher-level principles that must first be thoroughly understood, forward and backward, before ANY action you take can yield results.

Here's a tip: try to teach that book to friends or relatives. If you can teach it, you master it.

Subsequently, there are other books that can give you the "mechanics" of wealth creation: The E-Myth, by Michael Gerber, for instance.

In the end, Eker talks about financial freedom, just as Robert Kiyosaki does. However, he focuses more on the all-important psychological imperative of CHANGING our minds whereas Kiyosaki focuses more on the outer environment and the rules of society.
