Thou Shall Prosper: Ten Commandments for Making Money Kindle Edition

I love business books. I don’t read a ton, but I get through about 1 a month. This one is now in my top 5 favorites I’ve ever read. It’s a great perspective on God’s view of how to handle money and finances. It was a fresh take on the usual business book. Highly recommend.

The premise makes sense - "A practical approach to creating wealth-based on the established principles of ancient Jewish wisdom-made accessible to people of all backgrounds."Thou Shall Prosper accomplished the task perfectly. Wisdom of "the ages" was delivered - and it was entirely accessible. I took plenty of notes. Have already taken some specific steps in my own business.Perhaps even more important/valuable in the this book was a good old fashioned defense of capitalism - of "making money" in general. As an entrepreneur, I'm often surprised out how others not responsible for every element of their revenue/incomes look at the world quite differently than I do.In short, my worldview and "businessview" (I know, not a term, but I'm using it anyway) are closer to this Rabbi than most of my non-entrepreneurial peers. Didn't see that coming.But at the end of the day, I'm going with this book more than my peers - or certainly anyone these days put in charge of regulating the money I work so hard to make.Didn't realize how beneficial and encouraging this book would be to me. If you don't take a paycheck, I recommend it highly.If you do take a paycheck, consider reading it as well. It might change your mind in a few places.One of my new years declarations was that I'd read a book every week. Join me on this journey? [...]

love the book so easy to read!

This book provides insight I didn’t realize about being in business. Media and TV shows give it a negative connotation that we must see through and live productive lives.

I picked up this book as a result of Rabbi Lapin's interview with Pastor Benny Hinn whom I deeply respect.I am completely blown away by the content, it is definitely life transforming for me. Though the topic is on money but Rabbi Lapin sheds valuable insight into other matters such as retirement, charity and coincidence and many more.I am totally in agreement that there is no such thing as coincidence - it simply does not exist, at least not in my life and am now 41. I also love the stories that he gives to support his convictions on every subject.I find myself highlighting the better part of the book but this will enable me now go back and put to work his recommendations - especially on getting acquainted with numbers. I have bought his recommended book, that is why I love kindle, and I have also downloaded a personal financial app I will now be making use of.Thank you Rabbi for this book, it was definitely not a coincidence for me. As I read it, I find that it totally relates to the changes that is currently taking place in my life. I am at a point of career Decision and all I really want to do is give.Awesome book indeed - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Rabbi Lapin takes up where the "positive thinking - visualization" books leave off by offering straight forward, proven strategies for making money and doing well in business. Based on thousands of years of Jewish culture and history, Rabbi Lapin distills the attitudes, values, and business practices that have repeatedly led people to prosperity down to easy to understand concepts and habits.He starts by explaining the real attitude you need to succeed - it's more than just positive thinking! Then he goes on to explain "The Ten Commandments" of building wealth with a chapter dedicated to each one. And every chapter includes specific actions you need to take to succeed.I highly recommend this for anybody who's in business or wants to go into business. It 's the best business book I've read since "The E-Myth" and contains just as much practical advice! BTW, I have over 30 years in retail management as well as currently owning one business and getting ready to launch another. Wish I would have had this book back when I was getting started, it would have helped me avoid a lot of headaches as well as be much further ahead.

Insightfull ...gets to the root causes af success uder adverse conditions....a priceless must read and reread book !

Great financial book
