Thou Shall Prosper Review
As a business owner in a service industry I have gained more from this book than almost any other personal finance or business management book that I have read. Unlike so many others, Rabbi Daniel Lapin does not offer any quick tricks or simple solutions. He describes a powerful process of self improvement and real change that I have found to be personally exhilarating as well as already profitable. I can see how my many financially successful Jewish friends seem to follow the rabbi’s prescriptions almost subconsciously. Now after seeing the business process through Rabbi Lapin’s eyes I find myself finding opportunity where I never saw it before. Through the practical steps that conclude each chapter I have been able to adjust my intuitive response to people and situations and this has allowed me to negotiate more effectively. The most amazing thing is how often during my first read of Thou Shall Prosper, I exclaimed “Wow! He’s right!” This stuff isn’t rocket science but it is often counterintuitive. I could have used some more diagrams and clarification of some of the more complex principles but with a few rereadings, it was fine. I recommend this book for its practical ability to make you really prosper whereas before you might just have been doing OK. He says that if you want to make different things happen to you it isn’t enough to do different things, you must actually become different. If you want to change, this book can help you do so. It is going to be my present of choice for many friends and relatives during this holiday season. You won’t regret having it in your business library.
There is at least one brilliant insight on almost every page of this unusual book. The author is braver than most business and personal succeess book writers. The rabbi is willing to say that you can’t increase your wealth long term by merely accumulating a collection of clever tricks. Instead you actually have to become a different person. He doesn’t say it because this is a finance book not a religious book but I sense that what he is dancing around is almost a ‘being born again experience’. You have to help yourself be ‘reborn’ as a proud, confident, friendly, trustworthy business professional. Well he is right and my experiences with his advice prove it for me. Lapin comes close to perpetuating the old anti-Semitic canard about Jews being good with money, but he does effectively condense the ancient wisdom that puts far more Jews onto the Forbes 400 list than their population figures would suggest. This is a life-changing book and one that not only can make one more financially successful but can also help one integrate one’s money earning activities with one’s sense of values and convictions. You’ll find yourself, like me, reading it and rereading it. Great value!
I have purchased many ‘money’ books over the years, and, for the most part, most of them are filled with pages and pages of ‘nothing new’ information (like how many times do you need to be told how to do a budget?). This book is very different. First, it contains NO fluff. It’s filled with meaty stuff and one needs to be able to focus and concentrate in order to digest it all. It not only gives you valuable new ways to view money;it also gives you an inside look at the Jewish culture and why so many Jewish people are wealthy. I’m only a quarter of the way through the book, but Its already changed my attitude about money, in a positive way. This book can help you make more money if you’re in business, just by changing your the way you currently approach sales. If you’re looking for a substantial book on money and how to view it from a ‘hope someday to be properous’ perspective – this book can only help.
