Summary: wise words in insecure times
Review: "The more things change the more we must depend on those things that
never change," says Rabbi Daniel Lapin, in Thou Shall Prosper.
These are wise words in insecure times . Rabbi Lapin offers
practical financial advice founded in Jewish tradition. This book
investigates philosophical, economic and business-like approaches to
making money and creating wealth for oneself and also for others.
I find Rabbi Lapin's book takes a positive, practical, no-nonsense approach to finance and is a refreshing counterpoint to those who make doomsday predictions.
His wisdom and humor make the book an interesting , enjoyable and a rewarding read. ----

Summary: OUTSTANDING!
Review: I have read many of the popular "airport books" that promise to provide the secrets to success in business. They are like candy tidbits compared to the insights and depth of meaning provided by Rabbi Lapin in his "Thou Shall Prosper: Ten Commandments for Making Money." And how could it be otherwise? He is conveying information and insights drawn from the wisdom found in the Holy Scriptures and the Talmud, the encyclopedia of advice for living. The Talmud, described by Will Durant as "...the most complex and astonishing stories in the history of the human mind..." includes, naturally, true wisdom related to business activities - the economic interaction between men (and women) - seeking success not just in business but success in living. Rabbi Lapin succeeds in both areas. He does not preach from a lofty pulpit, he acknowledges his personal business mistakes and with hindsight clearly sees their cause(s). The reader will benefit as much from those insights as from the other insights of wisdom, for business and for living, found throughout this wonderful book. I am highly confident serious readers of all religious faiths will learn much from Rabbi Lapin's teachings.

Summary: Thou Shall Prosper
Review: I really enjoyed the book and the knowledge presented in it. Rabbi Lapin answers the stereotypical questions and provides a lot of insight into the "Jewish" traits of how to succeed financially. He reveals the timeless wisdom of the Jewish bible and the practical methods for getting ahead, not just financially but also in life. The book was also fun and personable to read, thanks to his great stories intertwined about his family and life experiences. I have also attended a business seminar and have been able to hear the Rabbi speak in the past. With his wonderful wit and wisdom he is not to be missed, on paper or in person. He has provided me with practical financial advice that I have repeatedly applied to my own business career. This book should not be passed by by anyone wanting to excel financially or spiritually.

Summary: Thou Shall Prosper
Review: I was so thoroughly impressed with Rabbi Daniel Lapin's book, Thou Shall Prosper, that I had to write a review. In clear, concise words Rabbi Daniel Lapin explains how a few, important teachings can help you increase your financial success. For example, he explains why giving to charity in the end will help you make MORE money. Or how understanding that making money at all is a good thing and not to feel guilty that you want financial success.
After reading his book I am seeing very clearly how our society has become biased against the good 'ol American businessman. What a shame. It is just this guy who is keeping others employed and fueling our investments.
I commend Rabbi for writing this book and strongly encourage others to see how a few simple teachings can change the whole way you see your career and prosperity.

Summary: A Must Read
Review: Rabbi Lapin presents an often-overlooked insight into success in general and in business especially. He writes in a style that is engaging, accessible, and fun. I was drawn into the Rabbi's world as he expands, a little bit at a time, on a simple but revolutionary concept. His techniques and advice have already been a great boon to me in my business and personal life. You'll understand successful businessmen through Rabbi Lapin's magnifying glass and see how you can make yourself more successful. We can all benefit from his advice and insights into human interactions. This book clearly shows the connections between friendships and wealth. You'll see it too, and you'll be better off for having read this book. Good business is good for more than just you (and your pocketbook). Your success is a boon to your customers, your friends, and everyone around you. Business is more than just a job; it's a state of mind. And it's right.

Summary: Ancient secrets of Jewish prosperity made accessible to all.
Review: 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!
