- Describes the profound connection between money, character, personal philosophy, and outlook
- Other bestselling titles by Green: The Gone Fishin' Portfolio

In reading the title one would think the book has something to do with money. It does not. The introduction proports to raise us to a higher plane of spiritual wealth, a plane we cannot touch with money alone. The plane the author aspires to is different than money and perhaps even higher, but certainly not spiritual. Metaphysical would be a better term in this case. If you are looking for spirituality or spiritual principles this is not the right book.

Read this book and immediately ordered 24 copies to give to everyone in my office and to my married children! It is not an investment book, although there are some good references to that end, but rather a "life" book that you will want to read over and over again.

I enjoyed my copy of this book so much that I ordered 7 more copies for close friends. It is a fine book written for those who want to be engrossed for hours or read a quick thought or two on the run. It is upbeat and instructive but not preachy or condescending, and is loaded with quotes and maxims that would benefit readers of almost any age. As a "bathroom book" (3-4 page chapters is the usual) or on your coffee table, it fills the bill.

This is the second book by Alexander Green I've read and he addresses a balance and a fullness to life that just working all the time just to make more doesn't fulfill. For someone who's wondering "Is this all there is?" This is eye opening and can be life altering.
