Don't Bother...you've probably read it before
There's nothing really wrong with "The Unemployed Millionaire" per se...it's just that's there's absolutely nothing new about it either. As a long time student of personal development, I've read and listened to almost all of the "gurus" such as Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy et alia...and this is an exact rehash of all of their stuff. (in some cases almost word for word!!) To add insult to injury it's misleading. When I clicked on an ad for Mr Morris' book he made a big hue and cry about Goal Setting not working..."Goal Setting is for Losers - Every goal setting technique you've ever read about actually sets you up for FAILURE! Most people set goal after goal, with grand ambitions, only to fall short time and again... leaving them frustrated and ready give up. (When you read this chapter, you'll never have that problem again" That sounded fresh...but guess what...the chapter is all about goal setting...exactly the same way it's always been done (actually not as good as some versions I've seen)...write your goal down, give it a time of completion, write it in the present tense etc...same old same old. Trust me, if you've read any of Zig's, Brian Tracys' or the slew of other personal development books out there, you've already read this one so do yourself a favour and save your money. PS: At least when Tony Robbins plagiarized every single personal development book under the sun he re-wrote it in his own voice so it appeared as if the ideas were his.
