Summary: This book literally changed my life and the way I think!
Review: Easy to read and thoroughly absorbing from start to finish. If you are a "seeker" of a better you, it is a MUST READ. The ideas that "you are not your thoughts" and that by bringing yourself to the present ("now") allows the "spirit" (my interpretation) to whisper truths to you have made a significant impact on the way I behave. It has payed great dividends for me in my personal life and business. How could I not have know this already? I have questioned this many times and I can't answer it except that I read it at the right time in my life. Maybe its the right time in your life too. Try it and good luck!!! Read it several times...I continue to read and re-read it.

Summary: This book is just horrible.
Review: I am a well known trader and CTA. My goal is to expose charlatans. A few perceptive people have described me as one myself but I assure you that I am not. Tecnical analysis is my hobby as I am a successful real estate broker and make lots of commissions from my customers since I never give give discounts. With some of the money I make, I lose in the markets, trying to copy successful traders. I don't believe there are any successful traders by the way and in particular I know that Ken Roberts' book is truly garbage. Could I write something better? Probably not, but I am certainly qualified to critique because I know much about just about everything. If you are going to spend the money I suggest you buy a book by Larry Williams or John Bollinger or even Kent Calhoun.

Summary: Unlocking the mystery of wealth
Review: I have had this book for years, and every time I read it I find something new to contemplate. For people who believe that only special people can make money, this book will show you how simple the concept is, and how we sabotage our own paths to wealth. It can also be applied to just about anything else you wish to have more of. I would put this on any must have list!

Summary: Its one great promise was that I learnt something.
Review: I have just finished reading this book and would like to make a few comments. I believe the message that Ken Roberts is trying to get across is a very important one - do not let negative thoughts and emotional urges cloud your thinking and actions. However, emotions are an important facet and make-up of our existence - to have emotions is to experience life. In esssence, Roberts' philosophy is not a message of total zombie-like emotionless existence, but that we should, and as a result of trying to control our thoughts and actions, especially those that impact negatively, would live life with greater awareness and in turn, prosperity. We would view life and its events from "higher level" where the truth is always revealed. That is, watch, don't react and learn, and the next action to take will always be the right action. Make sense? In essence, it is all about "leaving your thoughts behind". Roberts' message is an important one, but there are many other factors just as vital to achieving happiness, wisdom and prosperity, which really, is a result of the former. In all, a good read that was recieved warmly and understood.

Summary: Great read!
Review: If your looking for some inspirational / motivational material, and you have an open mind, this is a great book for your collection. I leave it on my bedside table and re-read it often. It won't make you a millionare, or give you instant happiness. What it will do is give you a new perspective on the way you think about life. Take a chance; read the book!

Summary: Intrigued by the message, disturbed by the not so obvious.
Review: It is undeniable that there are Universal principles of success which have been historicaly proven time and time again,such as "giving&recieving, A journey without a destination in mind is futile etc. and as well I agree that the principle of seperation of emotional reaction, vs. clear factual decision making are powerful essential keys in a majority of life issues. There is one distubing "subtlty" that one better make sure they have a clear awareness and clarity on, which is this. In the back of the book is a reference page to other works available to order, which are simply a These refer to Wicca, Tarots,Astrology and witchcraft. Each person has the freedom to choose their own path, however, it is only right that the reader be aware of this before ordering, and call the Ken Roberts "four star book store" before you order, so you can make a clear non-emotional decision whether to get this book. based on the FACTS of it's tendancies, rather than simply the emotion of "learning a rich mans secret".. You may not want that secret, if it is diametrically opossed to a belief structure of principles that you are hoping to apply, to a business vehicle that you have chosen to use. Ignorance is not bliss, it's simply a lack of full disclosure, That's good business.

Summary: Stupid Reviews (Same as stupid news)
Review: Ronald Davis must be referring to THE Ken Roberts, who has changed my life like Mr. Roberts cannot envision! However,Mr. Davis rattles on and on like the stupid news that we should avoid. A Rich Man's Secret is the best little known book available if you wish to find yourself. But then again perhaps Mr. Davis is not lost, ask him, he seems to know everything else.
To paraphrase Mr. Roberts "Mr. Davis doesn't know what he thinks he knows!" Buy the book, you will not regret it.

Summary: Enlightening! Recommended for those who are lost in thought.
Review: Synchronicity or Coincidental? The book is ficitional based on some historical facts. (Clement Watt existed along with the headstone and mystery). It is about a man, Victor Truman who is lost in thought. He can never find what his 'calling' is and always gets bombarded with thoughts of others and their approval of him. He and his wife go on vacation where Victor stumbles on a mystery of a headstone with letters C.W. on it and is mystified with the message he reads... 'Take the first step--no more, no less--and the next step will be revealed' which leads him through a journey of synchronicities that help him understand how important the present is (Now is How)and how this leads to his enlightenment. Good Read, got me on a positive note when I've finished!
