9781577312130: The Ten Percent Solution: Simple Steps to Improve Our Lives and Our World

Synopsis

This short, powerful work is potentially life changing, for it is filled with simple solutions to the difficult problems that confront us ― individually and globally. Marc Allen offers clear, doable solutions to both our personal financial problems and global problems. Key to many of these solutions is both saving and giving away 10 percent of our income, also known as "tithing." By taking the kinds of actions recommended in this book, we can not only achieve financial security but also contribute substantially to a better world as well. The Ten-Percent Solution shows us how to become part of the solution, rather than part of the problem. The rewards we receive along the way are limitless ― both personally and globally."

Reviews

Allen, an entrepreneur, speaker and founder of New World Library, desires to share an important message: many individual and societal woes would be eliminated if people followed two old-fashioned traditions: saving 10% of their income until they reach financial independence and giving away 10% of their income to charitable or social organizations. He tells this message anecdotally in this small tome. Feeling depressed over his work and his financial troubles, Allen visited an elderly friend, Bernie, who took him for a walk. Bernie described how people could transform their lives by following these two simple rules. Although Allen was initially skeptical, he began to take this advice and soon found himself far more successful (financially and emotionally) than he ever expected. Allen's ideas, especially about tithing, are not new and are fairly sound financial advice but hardly guarantee a secure or wealthy future. Given the uncertain economic times and increasing concern with traditional values, Allen's message will likely appeal to many. However, this inspirational book is not prescriptive enough for those in true financial distress.
