It really inspired me 

This book, literally, is the grand-daddy of the motivations. This book mainly deals with how you need to think and basically what you must do to attract success in your life.
It mainly had many chapters and principles that you may find interesting.
This is one of the best book I've read in my life.

I think maybe you should go with this one and see whether it works for you or not. It started working for me as it includes many inspirational stories like about Thomas A. Edison , Helen Keller and many more.

Give it a try and you won't regret reading it.

Boooring

I usually give each book 100 pages. I didn’t make it past 60 here before starting to skim over pages. The tone and way of writing did not resonate with me while the concepts did though. Too lengthy. Jumpy and for me not fast paced enough. The concerts reminded me of Jen Sincero’s ‘Badass’ books which are more up my alley

This is pretty wild. For probably like the first half, I thought this book was something like "The Secret" but with a whole bunch of old-timey name dropping. But every once in a while some serious capitalist fellating would happen for a few pages and then it would go back to telling you how to will yourself to success.

In the end though, I found it contradictory and a bit too much like pro-capital propaganda. In one passage, the author predicts that the future will be moving towards a place where people are working in a partnership and there everyone shares in the profits of business. In other passages, he chastises organized labor for grasping for more than an honest wage for honest work. Still in other places, he like spent a chapter going over the mythology of the American revolution and how a group of people organized to not just take the scraps they were given but to strive for more.

Maybe I didn't grasp the overall message of the book. The author did warn me that unless I was ready to receive the divine message of how to gain wealth it would be hidden from me. But honestly, he said a lot of stuff.

I give it more than the minimum because there are some good ideas, some even radical ideas in there. I can't give it more though, it is way too in the pocket of robber barons.
