The authors chose wealth, think wealth, habituate wealth, develop wealth, and grow wealth. Although they have varied business experiences, both made much of their current wealth from real estate. One of the recurring themes focuses on hiring staff and using others to limit personal liabilities. Another is buy low and sell high. Concepts are simple and easy to understand. The book is full of cheers, sayings, and positive reinforcements but lacks practical how-to-do it information. Examples meant to inspire fall short by highlighting negative actions rather than positive steps to take. The appendix includes a happiness index and horizontal income chart are the basis for a life audit. There is no index.

I was randomly chosen through a Goodreads Giveaway to receive this book free from the publisher. Although encouraged, I was under no obligation to write a review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

I can't seem to connect with grandmother Margaret Barlow in this series. The location was fine but the idea of a school for 25 girls actually succeeding was too farfetched for meThis would mean about 6 girls per grade and they were successful athletically as well as academically, well they lost me for good here and this became a fairy tale

i found this book unreadable; it dates itself via writing style (it's typical mid-80s, 300-page horror), and is fairly predictable. i skipped ahead and read all the good parts, the portions dealing with the decapitated heads kept illicitly at a neurology research center. ;)

skip this, and read Sister Sister by Andrew Neiderman or Pain by Michael Carson for quick, fun, disturbing and literate reads that deal with sadistic research.
