The One Minute Millionaire, The Enlightened Way to Wealth by Mark Victor and Robert Allen

Does inspirational and self-help reading bring you business? You decide... Check out the October pick of the month double-sided reading of fiction and money talk.

This month's Read 'em and Meet Selection (October 13, 2009) is a different mix! Two writers, Mark Victor of Chicken Soup for the Soul fame, and Robert Allen, author of a best selling real-estate guide, present two formats to arrive at the same goal: enlightenment to wealth.

"In an unusual format, the right-hand pages depict the fictional story of Michelle, a lowly waitress and mother of two who breaks out to pursue her dream of creating her own business and owning income-producing real estate. The left-hand pages are organized into what the authors call Millionaire Minutes--short lessons for becoming an 'enlightened millionaire.'" -- Amazon editorial review from Booklist.

The editorial reviews and customer reviews are as mixed as the book's premise. Regardless, it's sure to be a quick and interesting read and could create a lively discussion on whether "feel-good" and inspirational activities can enhance business.

As one customer reviewer said. "I have to chuckle when people write reviews on quality books like this great one by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen and refer to it as merely "feel good" stuff. Well, I have to agree. Reading this sort of "feel good stuff" does make me feel good. So good that I went out and made another $10,000 last week. I will tell you this. I perform much better when I feel good than when I feel lousy."
