Amazon, please add negative ratings!! Right off the bat Eker gives bad advice. The best way to become wealthy is not to save or educate yourself or study the stock market. No, the easiest method is giving seminars to desperate folks and writing schlock like this. Degree, investments and skills are optional. This book is so bad it is almost good and if you are serious about literature or prose you are barking up the wrong tree. I have a deep aversion to tomes of this type, you know the ones that claim some "secret" pathway to wealth and then are purposely vague so as to avoid any legal ramifications. Yet someone lent me a copy and in my spare time I gave it a quick once over. I'll even admit, to my utmost humiliation, that a long time ago I attended one of those crappy seminars where a cheerleader got all the poor fools excited about swimming in cash. The author, probably president of his high school pep club, delivers the goods in that it is exactly like all the 19 zillion other books similar to this, only with an expanded group of "experts" cited. As one reviewer notes, they are cited endlessly, either with or without quotes. It goes without saying that there is nothing original here - no secret formula, hidden meaning or a jump start on the journey to success. The name says it all, the "Inner Game". People like this view wealth accumulation as a "game" (God save us from these endless sports metaphors) that must be played by rugged all-American men (and women they hastily add). There IS no mindset that leads to wealth except one that values hard work, discipline, education and the capacity to take risks. And despite protests, I can only think that this was one long advertisement for his seminars. It is amazing the money that Joe and Jane fork over for someone to tell them they need to save, cut expenses and make better investments. I am normally against forcing labels on products but in this case I will make an exception. "WARNING, THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS IS DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH".
