You can make him rich - Rated 
The irritating thing about this book is that there is a grain of truth puffed up into an empty Rice Krispie of the kind of persuasive yet elusive waffle you might expect from someone who entertains with hypnotism and other stage tricks, psychological sleights of hand and deceits. Don't get me wrong - there's nothing wrong with his act, and he's a smart chap who can write easily and fluently, but this book mainly consists of a distillation of the kind of visualisation techniques that fill many a self-help book. The idea of concentrating on your goals is good - many of us waste time and energy by being unfocused and distracted, and single-minded purpose is indeed a trait of successful people. Focus does not guarantee you wealth, however - lots of office workers, children in sweatshops and nurses are focused. You need luck and opportunity as well. Another failing, which this book has in common with lots of business books, is that it doesn't give you practical, saleable ideas, it just reminds you that you need them. McKenna would no doubt argue that the rich aren't spoon-fed ideas, they take inspiration and run with it, but the people putting this book in the bestseller lists probably aren't the Bransons and SirAlan Sugars of this world, they're people who want to be rich but don't have the ideas or the opportunities and part with money they can ill afford so they can cling in desperate hope to this kind of piffle.
Excellent as always - Rated 
Once again, Paul McKenna gets it right.
His writing is fluid and very understandable; his way of seeing things is very practical and down to earth; he gives you a comprehensive view of being "rich", which includes all the ways you "prosper" in your daily life.
This book has "MeKenna" written all over it: it is like a friend talking to you at the pub, someone able to command your attention without being overly complicated or boring or too general.
I much prefer to read a book like this from a person who knows how to right and packages his information well, than the books of people who tell themselves expert and then cannot properly communicate with their readers.
The included CD is also nice and refreshing to hear, and beautifully complements the message of the book.
This is the third McKenna book I buy and I always had the impression of money very well spent.
the road to wealth - of different kinds - Rated
The point about this book - which some reviewers have misunderstood - is that the term 'rich' doesn't just mean becoming wealthy, but also learning to value what you already have. The materialism of the book is balanced by an excellent emphasis on the non-material 'riches' we possess. And in any case, it's a matter of personal choice. If it's material wealth you're interested in, this book shows you how to attain it. If you're interested in understanding time and slowing it down, read Making Time Making Time: Why Time Seems to Pass at Different Speeds and How to Control It- or if you're interested in achieving your desires in other ways, read The Secret.
Brilliant! - Rated
I have read and listened to most of Paul Mckenna's work but this was the most profound because it enabled me to "get in deep" and work on my issues all round not just those concerning money. For working through the exercises both written and visual I have given myself peace of mind, I don't worry like I used to and I've let go of a lot of personal issues which has resulted in self sabotage in many areas of my life. I don't know why but this has been a personal healing for me. It has given me alot to think about what programmes I have running my mind, yes it may challengne your beliefs and get to you to really think what you associate( feelings, behaviours) around what is Rich and wealth. we are always being told to change your mind-set and change your life but I found I could do this without the huge guilt trip! Simple to read, light on the mind.
Excellent work again from Paul McKenna! - Rated 
The CD will support you in getting the messages unconsciously as I discovered at my training with Auspicium, may - I suggest you listen to the CD daily. Also, remember, you may think listening to the CD and reading the book will just suddenly and miraculously manifest your fortune and feelings of richness, you may be right. Then again, that's a bit like creating new beliefs about being a "great cook"....you may become a great cook with new empowering beliefs but we also know that you may need to get in the kitchen to rustle up your tasty lunch!
Something to think about...and by the way....only you can make you rich, whatever rich means to you.
