Express Your Worthiness

This is yet another great book by Suze Orman.I admire the fact that in her books, as in this book, she shares her relationship with money, and what compelled her to become someone for you to count upon, for your journey to money mastery.In this book, Mr. Orman brings the human angle, if you will, to money.So, what are the laws of money?1. Truth Creates Money - Lies Destroy Money:This means opening your bills, while you allow whatever negative emotion to well up from within you, as you allow yourself to compassionately respond to that emotion.2. Look at What You Have - Not at What You Had:If you always focus upon what you had, you will recreate every painful experience from your past. And you will repell money.Write a gratitude journal. And anytime that you say to yourself, "I don't have ...," follow this with, "And I do have this," several times, as you breath full relaxed breaths. You will attract what you need and want.3. Do What Is Right For You - Before You Do What Is Right For Your Money:Don't allow debt, money, or other material symbols to control you. Create money to express your self-love.4. Invest In The Known - Before The Unknown:What are are you clear about? Why? Could you become curious, interested and therefore savvy on other potential investments?Before you invest in the known, create a vision of yourself making and appreciating that investment.5. Money Has No Power of Its Own - Unless You Give It Power Over Your Life:When you decide that money has power over you, you will repell it. Money is just notes, with deceased people on each note. Money creates options, for you, and those who you believe in.

Undoubtably Suze's best work to date!

I have read al ot of praise for Suze's other books, in particular 9 Steps to Financial Freedom, The Courage to Be Rich and The Road To Wealth but I feel that this is undoubtably Suze's best work, even better tha 9 Steps and far better than The Road To Wealth.Everytime Suze pumps out a new book she continues to surprise and impress me with her vast wealth of knowledge and easy writing sytle. I bought The Laws of Money right along with The Automatic Millionaire, another great book.Books by the financial savvy like Orman and Bach cannot be recommended highly enough. Be wary of financial books written by non financial people who are merely writers and have no real financial credentials to speak of.

The Laws of Money, The Lessons of Life

Suze's newest book The Laws of Money, The Lessons of Life is different to say the least. In this book, Suze gets inside your head and uncovers the real reasons why you are not where you want to be financially.Suze explains why your ideas about money and in particular, your feelings regarding your personal experiences with money play a major role in what you do with money in the future.A lot of people got wallopped in the stock market over the last three years. This is unfortunate as there are strategies that could have helped these people make omney while the markets went down. Back to the point of Suzes book, many people are now gun shy of the markets and afriad to invest. Big mistake!The same is true with other areas of personal finance. Some have gone over their heads in credit cards debt and now look at anything plastic with a phobic-like reaction. Others have lost their homes in foreclosure and many have gone bankrupt. Too many others are living high while investing less and less. Contributions to 401 (k) savings plans has decreased and only in January of 2004 has investing in stock mutual funds started to rise.Too many people are missing out on opportunity. Suze's book will help break that phobia and achieve the results you want.Fans of 1,000 page boring and out-of-date financial books written by financial authors may not like this book by Suze but I have a question for you: how is the advice that you recieved from that magazine author working for you? I rest my case!Suze may not be the greatest writer in the world but she is the best financial advisor/author right now. She is genuinely passionate about personal finance and not just trying to catch the wave of personal finance interest and jump on the bandwagon of Venita Van Caspel, Charles Givens, Terry Savage, or now Suze Orman like another personal finance author.The Laws of Money is a great book that can and will make a significant differnce in your financial life.

Most credible financial author today

Not only is Suze Orman the most listened to financial author today, she is also the most credible and widely trusted. In her newest book, "The Laws of Money, The Lessons of Life Suze Orman explains not only the "how to's" of personal money management, but also the emotional issues that inevitably accompany any effort to get one's financial house in order.This is an excellent book and should be read in addition to "The Road to Wealth" and "9 Steps To Financial Freedom."You've read the rest, Suze is the best.

More appropiate now than ever!

I couldn't think of a better time for Suze Orman's new book; "The Laws of Money."I know that some people are offended by Suze's metaphysical approach combined with her financial expertise. I find the combination to be a winner.Nice cover shot too!As another reviewer stated, if you feel that this advice is too basic, then do a financial checkup--how are you doing financially? If you are doing well, then why are you buying more financial books? I highly recommend "The Laws of Money" to anyone who wants to maximize financial succe$$!Suze, great book. I look forward to your next foray.
