When it comes to personal finance, there are few experts out there that are as popular as Suze Orman. She has helped thousands of people get their finances under control through her efforts on her radio show and through her books. Her no-nonsense, common sense approach appeals to many and gives people that kick in the rear that they sometimes need to get things done. We are fans of her previous books and were excited to give this one a read to see how it stacks up to the competition.
This was an interesting read, and shows how Orman has come full circle in her life. When she first started out, she was determined to be rich, and felt that money was more important than life. This colored her viewpoint and although she became hugely successful, she quickly found that she wasn’t happy. While many of us have that drive to make as much money as possible, there are few that consider the fact that it may make us miserable.
In order to help others learn from her mistakes, Orman put together a very solid book on personal finance that combines actual financial advice with a more spiritual aspect. This may help many people find that balance that they so desperately need. The advice, as usual, is very sound, and it’s hard to go wrong when you’re dealing with Orman. Whether you agree with her strategies or not, she is certainly someone that is well worth listening to.
The book is divided into nine steps, each one addressing common problems and offering sound solutions. You’ll be reading about how Orman first came to love money and the event that inspired her to build her empire. You’ll also be learning how to respect money without worshipping it, and the importance of trusting yourself to make investments, and to handle your own finances.
Step Seven, entitled Being Open to Receive All That You Are Meant To Have is a profound treatise on money and should be read more than once. We also got quite a lot out of Step Eight, which discusses the ebb and flow of your finances and how to handle every stage that comes your way. The last step covers true wealth and once again, this is a profound section in the book that goes well beyond simple money management, offering tips that can be applied to every aspect of your life.
We recommend this book to those struggling with their finances, as well as to those that may already be successful, but not happy. Money can’t buy everything, as we all know, and this book should help many find that right perspective that will help them become successful in many arenas in life. It’s a great book for those just starting out, as well as for those that are already retired. This is a fascinating read, and one that should be pondered carefully and revisited often.

Suze is hilarious! I love her style and your right she’s quite good, and quite rich with her $80 million!
I prefer Larry Burkett and Dave Ramsey personally.
