Be open and willing when you read a book like this. It won’t hurt you to try!

What have I read?!
There are many things I disagree with (and let's ignore the Universal Intelligence thing) but here are a few for the record:
1. I don't think that trying to save some money by examining (hence, investing time) the cheaper options is "financial mediocrity". I'd say that overpaying is potentially even worse because it demonstrates the lack of desire to save money (which could be invested to make more money)
2. Jen argues: "Please oh please, allow yourself to get as rich as you need to be in order to bestow upon us your greatness." Then many pages later there's this: "Poverty and staying broke are diseases that we cause with out mindsets". Yeah, social scientists talking about structural inequalities just don't realize that it's not the societal arrangements but an individual that is to be blamed. Or maybe the poor just don't trust the Universal Intelligence enough? Ok, I'm not arguing that mindset is not important because it is but come on....
3. Some examples she uses as an illustration to make a point are beyond my comprehension. For example, she provides an example of Louise Hay who healed herself from "cervical cancer via forgiveness, affirmations, visualization, nutrition, and other hippie-type stuff instead of surgery and drugs." This was used to support her argument that poverty comes from mindset (read point 2).
I almost feel the need to read the first book in the series just to learn how bad it is. Time will show if I set myself up to this.

When I read a book I own, I normally get rid of it as soon as I’ve finished it to make room for more books. Not this one. I’m keeping this one somewhere where I can grab it every day before I sit down to work and grab some inspiration. I was already familiar with a lot of the concepts in this book, but one thing I think this book did differently was acknowledging that, as important as mindset is, it’s not enough on its own. You have to have the mindset in addition to the work ethic and the willingness to do whatever it takes to seize opportunities.

DNF. I started this book today and read through chapter 2, but I can't finish this book. Apparently I am in the minority here, but this book to too boring!! It's about teaching yourself it's ok to love money, want money, and have money. Trust me, I am very comfortable with talking about money, wanting money, loving money, and having money. This book was not for me.

This book was fluff. I am really glad I didn't spend money on it (ironically). You could have condensed it into 5 pages. And I *like* mindset, manifestation, and self-help type stuff.

I enjoyed the examples Sincero used to further explain each of the concepts she presented. It is an easy guide on the direct relationship between money and the way we value ourselves. It talks about limiting beliefs and how to connect to the Universe.
