The Lazy Man's Way to Riches: How to Have Everything in the World You Really Want! (Revised Edition)

This BOOK is just GREAT!!! This book is very inspirational and it really made me more of a positive person. If this book is not great than what is? This book really have changed my life and I am not exaggerating. This book really is the stuff. I would recommend this to EVERYONE!!! yes I said it for EVERYONE!!!

Great Book ! I also purchased the original edition from Joe Karbo's first full page ad he ran in the Los Angeles Times Newspaper over forty years ago.

Never mind the stuff about writing adverts, the essential bit is how to focus the subconscious mind on objectives. End

I read this 45 years ago and it improved my life in many ways. I loaned it to someone who moved away and wanted another copy

I thought this was going to be close to original book by Joe Karbo, simple and easy to read and not time consuming. This version is no longer for the lazy man, that's for sure. It's an encyclopedia and summer course vs the original that was a 30 minute read to get same or better results. The author who redid the book seems to have either missed the point, or just found a way to capitalize on Karbos amazing work.

Good book

A Must for all entrepreneurs

Just common sense. Buy another book that actually goes into detail other than say do what you like. He provided no guidance or help.

Absolut inspirierend und gut zu verstehen, kurzweilig und besser als erwartet.

I owned this book, then lost it a few years ago.I love Joe Karbo. He has a wonderful way of putting things over.Thanks to Joe, I did what it said in the book and it worked! I have prospered ever since.I have bought the book to replace the lost one, so that my grandchildren can benefit from this incredible man's advice.

I bought the original, if I told you the result you wouldn't believe me. I stopped using it and it was all gone. Buy this book but don't stop. what ever you want it will give it to you, if you use it.

First things first. The Joe Karbo content is good and that deserves 4.5 stars. My slight issue is the Richard G Nixon version of the book. Basically he's taken Joe's original book and added another 150 pages of his own. Basically he's tried to make Joe's book (better) with his own work. Personally I don't think he's done that. What he has done though, is to make the original book much bigger. It's gone from 169 pages up to 300+ pages. Believe me when I say this, it's a massive book. And that seems to be the problem for me. It seems rather over bloated. I appreciate that this is a personal view but it took me ages to get through the first 30% of this. Nixon gets you to do many exercises in the back of the book. On the goal setting exercise I actually got quite confused. To me it didn't really explain the concept very well. Bored one night I decided to read all the reviews on this book on the UK and US Amazon site. A few posters said the original 1973 version was much better. I found the original 73 version online and gave it read (well I've bought this book so its ok :) I must admit i found the 1973 version much better. It's 169 pages, much more to the point and in my mind much easier to follow. My advice would be to get the original over this version. Now...to the book itself (1973 version). The book is split up into two sections. The first section gets you to set concrete goals and meditate on characteristics you want to change. Every day you have to read your goals aloud and you have to visualise them. You do this twice a day. You also have to meditate on a key word (confidence etc) once a day. The idea is to get you to start rewiring your brain into more positive thoughts. I've been doing it for a bit now and I like it, it certainly helps me get up in the morning when I think of all these cool goals that I now want to achieve. Book 2 is about setting up a direct mail company. He talks about how to find ideas (that was good), how to set it up, how to write copy and how to advertise. Some of this info is now dated but the principles are there. Just replace direct mail with online store. I'm going to try it when I'm done with my current projects. It may work, it may not! Overall an enjoyable read, but just get the 1973 version over this version would be my advice.

I would recommend this book to a friend and anyone else who wishes to take another look at the way they are living their lives today and how their lives and the way they live could make positive changes for their future.
