This book is sold in the US as “The Rules of Money: How to Make It and How to Hold on to It”. I recently bought this book after thumbing through it in an airline book shop. The bit that caught my attention was the last section of the book titled “Sharing Your Wealth”. The book contains 100 different rules on wealth, split into five sections:

• Thinking Wealthy
• Getting Wealthy
• Get Even Wealthier
• Staying Wealthy
• Sharing Your Wealth

One of the rules, “Decide on your definition of wealth”, quite possibly did make it worthwhile to buy the book, but overall, I was quite disappointed. The subtitle of the book, “A personal code for prosperity”, seems to imply that there is a system to the rules of wealth in the book, but I found the rules disjointed with no clear path from rule to rule. Many of the rules are relevant only if you run your own company. Except for that one already mentioned rule, I didn’t find anything in this book I haven’t found in other books on personal finance, building wealth, or money management. That is fine, if at least the book inspires me to do things that, even though I may already have understood it or believed in the principle, I don’t do. But that wasn’t the case with this one. I would not recommend this book.
