About the author

Mark Victor Hansen is an American inspirational and motivational speaker, trainer and author. He is best known as the founder and co-creator of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book series.


Mark Victor Hansen was born to Danish immigrants, Una and Paul Hansen. He grew up in Waukegan, Illinois. He graduated from Southern Illinois University in 1970 with a B.A. in speech communications.

Along with business partner, Jack Canfield , Hansen is best known for creating what Time magazine called “the publishing phenomenon of the decade”. Chicken Soup for the Soul books are one of the most successful publishing franchises in the world today, with more than 500 million books sold internationally and more than 100 licensed products. The name “Chicken Soup” was chosen because of the use of chicken soup as a home remedy for the sick. The first Chicken Soup book, published by Health Communications, Inc., sold more than 2 million copies. There are now over 500 million copies in print and in 54 languages worldwide.

In 2005 he co-wrote, along with Robert Allen, the book "Cracking the Millionaire Code" in which he highlights several self-made millionaires such as Bob Circosta, Michael Dell, Bill Gates, Alexander Graham Bell, Oprah Winfrey, and others, using them as examples of how to build wealth.

OK, Mark. Nice guy. I met him. He's actually a former college professor like moi who went into writing, publishing, speaking, motivating, like moi. He's a great guy. Great marketer. Humanitarian. Speaker (except a little too much on the rha-rha side). Entreprenuer. Business Man. Thinking. However, not everyone WILL be a millionaire. Why? It requires a lot of things many are not willing to give up: time in front of the TV, friends, time (period). And few have the intuitve desire, work ethic, strength (Dan Kennedy says no amount of intelligence, education, creativity can make up for the mental toughness most need to be successful) or other qualities needed. Really nothing new here. I write about this stuff in several of my books but that's another story.

Most books of this type have to be "mined" to find those elements that will help the reader make progress. Mark understands that reaching people with elements THEY can use is job one. Hence the graphics, the font changes, the book organization.

I know Mark personally and he is the real deal. This book is part of a body of work designed to help people make steps to their goals and improve the fabric of society.

Destiny code - discover unique place in the world.
Prism code - refract multiple income streams.
Angel code - network more people into your life.
Star code - treat your customers well.

Mark and Bob use their corny style to teach financial intelligence and activate the reader’s imagination. They believe everyone has a predestined path to wealth if they’re willing to crack spiritually encrypted messages from the heavens.

The whole setup of this book is contrite and annoying. The graphics are distracting. I'm not impressed by all the cutesy, feel good gimmicks. If you have something to say, just say it.

If I want a puzzle book, I'll buy one.

[Shaeley Santiago · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots of puzzles & codes to solve worked into the book. Great quotes incorporated, too.

Really?

You'd have to pay me a million dollars to give this book another chance. It felt like someone was selling me a time share.

[Randy O'Brien · Rating 4 out of 5]

Here’s one book that might just put you in a higher tax bracket. What is the mysterious code and how can each of us be millionaires? Authors Hansen (Chicken Soup for the Soul) and Allen (Nothing Down and Creating Wealth) speak with authority and experience. They reveal with enthusiasm the secret of collecting your money-making ideas and implementing a plan that will bring those theories into reality, creating what they have coined as “Enlightened Wealth”.

[Jennifer Gardella · Rating 3 out of 5]

So let me first say that the book is excellent. Lots of gems of ideas in here. Lots of inspiration.
However, if you are reading this in the modern day, teh website is down and the authors are non-responsive to emails and messages on social media.
So don't go looking for the pdfs or any other materials on the website. consider them not available.

[Giorgos · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was a highly spiritual rather financial book. I am not a believer of "build it and they will come". For sure in order to succeed in life, in business and in wealth spiritual strength is essential. However I believe that your hard work, skills and experience are far more needed. From my point of view, you need to build up your spirituality along with all your skills and character traits.

A good book on ethical Spirit-inspired business. I found the puzzles distracting. I liked the book for it's antidote to greed in the form of philanthropy.

[audiobook review, read by the authors]

Start from Chapter 4. Unless you're extremely orthodox in your religion of choice, the first three chapters sound like fluff and nearly drove me to give up on the entire book before the meat of it even began. They lost me at "claim the wealth that was reserved for you before you were born," but I trudged on.

Also, the first CD should have been re-recorded or re-edited after the producers figured out how to normalize the audio so that one is not shouting while the other is barely audible. But I digress.

The authors, Hansen and Allen, create acronyms and new words in order to emphasize their points. DESTINY, PRISM, ANGELS, and STARS become acronyms that define the four "millionaire codes" to crack in order to figure out how you will attain your personal wealth. Many of the steps include a bit of "serendestiny" (serendipity + destiny) and "loverage" (love + leverage), which sounds like you basically need a bit of luck.

This book can help you get started with your big idea, but the legwork is up to you. All of their worksheets and list templates can be downloaded from their website, crackingthemillionairecode.com. If you need extra motivation, re-read the last chapter for the "You Can Do It!" coaching.

[Patrice Blanchard · Rating 1 out of 5]

Impossible de terminer ce livre! Pas envie et je n'en vois pas l'intérêt.
J'ai autre chose à faire que de passer mon temps à résoudre des codes stupides - souvent impossibles - qui répètent ce qui est écrit dans le livre.
Le livre parle de principes de richesse et puis bascule sans raison dans la religion et la présence de Dieu dans tout ce que l'on fait.
C'est très américain dans l'approche mais l'approche de celui qui veut devenir millionnaire, pas l'approche de celui qui a réussi.
Associer générosité obligatoirement à la religion est une croyance que je n'ai pas personnellement.

[Nura Yusof · Rating 1 out of 5]

I did not finish this. The puzzles, the wierd fonts, the book layout, makes this an excruciating read.

And the 101 step plan? Not all of us have the time to waste solving codes and devoting ourselves to this.

Some ideas from earlier book, the One Minute Millionaire are repeated here, which as someone who has read the earlier book, feel like being ripped-off.

Thankfully, I got this book at a really incredible discount.

[Angee Bartlett · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you are looking for a book that can help you finally attain the wealth you deserve, then this book is one good step towards your goal. Like any other book, it is only as good as the reader chooses to make it.

I actually took it to heart, learned from it, and applied the teachings. No, I'm not a millionaire yet but I am a whole lot closer than I was when I purchased this book.

[Jeff Wilson]

I loved the non-fiction stories in this book (5 stars). I enjoyed the fiction story (4 stars). I did not care for the worksheets (2 stars). Overall it was well worth my time...and no I didn't fill out the worksheets.

[Franc Woods · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting perspectives on gaining wealth and the values to instill in your business. Could have used this in our recent (failed) venture. May or may not have helped :)
I am disappointed that their website no longer seems to be functioning. I guess that speaks to the usefulness of the material!
