It is better in fact as it is more general rather than applied to a specific case study which is what he does in the programme.

Advantages: simple, easy to follow advice
Disadvantages: boring in places

...TV series 'Your Money or your life' in which financial adviser Alvin Hall comes to the aid of people in financial trouble, and always enjoyed it, so I was interested to read this, the accompanying book to the series. I expected that this book would be solely advice on getting out (and staying out) of debt, and as I am (luckily) not in any debt myself, I did not think most of it would be relevant to me. I was wrong. Although there is such a chapter, ...
...look at the reasons behind your spending, so that you can learn to control it in the future.

CHAPTER ONE - MONEY AND YOUR MIND Following on from the intro, this chapter deals with taking a full, frank look ... Read review

Advantages: Great way to find out about the best books about money
Disadvantages: Would liked to have seen more books talking about the mental blocks to getting rich

...The author divides the 50 classics into four manageable sections (and one sub section) ATTRACT IT The author calls this the inner game of wealth.

...knowledge and reading there are 50 books that could help you on the road to wealth. If only the author had put down which section they belong in (attract it, create it, or manage it) to give you a more informed choice as to what book to buy next. I also recommend buying 50 Success Classics by the same author because I believe you can be successful but not prosperous but you can't be prosperous and not successful. You may think the table is tilted ... Read review

Disadvantages: None really...it's just right I think!!

I bought this Personal Development book on NLP a few months back because I've heard so much about the topic and wanted to know much more about it, plus it gave me something to read for my US trip. Firstly What is NLP? NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming...sounds complicated doesn't it? It's not really, once you get to know the topic. It is basically a technique/process/ or whatever you may call it, where using, oral and visual (body) ...
...'suggestion' to improve your attitude towards yourself and your goals (auto suggestion) and help build rapport with others. It can also be a state of mind as well. In a nutshell if you are surrounding yourself with positive energy (i.e. positive people and positive thinking) then you are likely to have a more positive attitude towards life regardless of your situation and if you filter out any negativity then you only enhance the positiveness. Sorry ... Read review
