Chapter 1 is absolute rubbish with outdated examples of people showing determination, which leads to better results. It seems like an unhelpful book I wouldn’t recommend.
Chapter 2 is talking about burning your other options, which isn’t ideal. You should have all your backup plans but act and think as if they won’t ever be executed, especially in times of war. This chapter is way more inspiring and talks about the human capability to overcome challenges…

Reframe affirmations as empty rituals. Ditch repetitive mantras. Faith in oneself is overrated. Burn every bridge, acknowledging only concrete actions."

1. Desire + persistance = riches
2. "Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It's not sufficient nearly to say – I want plenty of money. Be definite in it's amount. There's a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter."
3. "Determine exactly what you intent to give in return for the money you desire. There's no such reality as something for nothing."
4. Establish a definite date, when you intent to posses to money you desire.
5. Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once weather you are ready or not to put this plan into action.
6. Write out a clear concise statement of the amount of money you intent to acquire, name the time limit for it's aquisition. State what you are willing to give in return for the money and describe clearly the plan in which you intent to accumulate it.
7. Read your written statement aloud twice daily. Once just before retiring at night and once after arising in the morning. As you read, see and feel and believe yourself already in possesion of the money.

This book is absolute garbage. It’s like a cult manifesto, telling you not to question or read anything outside its narrow scope. The writing is repetitive, convoluted, and tries to sound profound but says nothing meaningful. The author claims their methods are axiomatic truth, then later equates following the method with doing God’s work. It’s laughable. The book is just a series of repeated sentences and empty promises. Don’t waste your time.

Religious sect-like content with no real principles or depth. Repetitive and complicated sentences. Lacks good advice.

Terrible book with no real value. Contains religious content and repetitive ideas. Not recommended.

This book perpetuates harmful gender stereotypes and fails to consider intersectionality. The book’s advice is often contradictory, oversimplified, and based mainly on outdated gender roles. Its narrow focus on the differences between men and women ignores essential issues of gender inequality. I rate this book 2.8/10 and caution readers to approach it skeptically.

I highly recommend this book as an invaluable resource for anyone seeking personal growth and development.
