This modern-day parable is a business and self-help book that traces the metamorphosis of a young hero from career frustration and discouragement to riches and fulfillment through the guidance of an eccentric yet wise old millionaire. There are many noble themes expressed, which cannot be repeated too often to influence one's business as well as personal life, including the power of the mind, developing focus and concentration (which will strengthen willpower and lead to accomplishing great things), and drafting a very specific goal (which includes a dollar amount and date for achievement). Success requires faith and audacity to achieve the things one really wants, and the author strongly cautions against letting fear bury one's talents. With repeated emphasis on the value of concentration, we are taught that success can be learned by imitating others and by continuous attention to details, and that an observing mind animated by a specific objective can see things that distracted minds or those lacking motivation overlook. Mary Whaley
In this parable that reads like fiction, Fisher (The Instant Millionaire) introduces John Blake, a 32-year-old ad man bored with his work who meets a mysterious millionaire. The millionaire gives him formulas for financial success, including focusing on a single goal, prioritizing, avoiding distractions and having both faith and audacity. Underlying all this is an emphasis on the power of positive thinking ("Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better") and a Panglossian spin (everything that happens is for the best). But those who hope to find the way to fiscal success may be put off when Fisher veers into metaphysics and has his omniscient capitalist turn out to be a believer in reincarnation?presumably suggesting that those who don't make it big in this life may have other opportunities in the future. Needless to say, hero Blake makes a mint in his field of choice and wins the girl of his dreams.
