A Rich Man's Secret: An Amazing Formula for Success

Rate this book
It's the key to wealth and wisdom. It's an intriguing mystery. It's a novel that will fascinate and educate. It's A Rich Man's Secret by Ken Roberts.

Ken Roberts spent years studying self-help guides, moving from job to job, and worrying about how to achieve personal and professional success. He thought he knew the answer, but his schemes fizzled. Then he discovered the inner principle that you will learn in A Rich Man's Secret .

This book is unique, with no recycled and fruitless adages. Does it work? Ken Roberts is more than just an American "everyman" who found success. Today, his philosophical and financial guidance has reached over 200,000 subscribers in eighty-six countries. His guides to prosperity have grossed over forty million dollars and have international acclaim.

Rather than simply tell you the spiritual and financial truths (which could be ignored or overlooked for their simplicity), A Rich Man's Secret is an exciting novel that will touch your heart and instill you with his elegant and clear presentation of ancient tenets leading to success.

The story is about Victor Truman, a person who represents many people. He spends his days scanning the want ads, going to get-rich-quick seminars and listening to talk radio. But his every effort leaves him impoverished in spirit . . . and in his wallet.

One day, while retrieving an errant golf ball, he stumbles upon a forgotten woodland cemetery and a tombstone engraved with a strange message. "Take the first step―no more, no less―and the next will be revealed."

Puzzled, Victor Truman starts out to find out what this means. Is the tombstone really that of a wealthy industrialist? What are the next steps? Why do the clues seem to be left specifically for him?

Crackling with the suspense of a detective story, yet soothing in its homespun wisdom and common sense, A Rich Man's Secret delivers scene upon scene of the quiet trials and tribulations we all experience during life. The conclusion will have you nodding in agreement at the way success can be had in all aspects of spiritual, emotional, and financial.

Get A Rich Man's Secret for a better future.

This book was a quick read, uplifting and contained much practical advice. I compare it to another book that I read called "The Precious Present."

It is all about "surrendering to what is, letting go of what was, and having faith in what will be."

I liked this book a lot. It changes the way you think about things. Gives you a new perspective on general life. The main character in the book is Victor. Like many of us Victor has pride in providing for his family. He has an extremely hard time when he can no longer provide for his family and his wife Christine has to bring in the money. Victor goes on a hunt to find the secret of success, so he can be a good provider. He finds the grave of Clement Watt who was a very wealthy and successful man. Victor studies Clement Watt's life that leads him on a treasure hunt to find the formula of his success.
I would recommend this book to all young adults who feel bored with their current situation in life. This book is really easy to understand and it ends happily. It really is a formula for success.
