"With such psychological nuggets as "Rich people focus on opportunities/ Poor
people focus on obstacles," Eker puts a positive spin on stereotypes, arguing
that poverty begins, or rather, is allowed to continue, in one's imagination
first, with actual material life becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. To that
end, Eker counsels for admiration and against resentment, for positivity,
self-promotion and thinking big and against wallowing, self-abnegation and
small-mindedness. While much of the advice is self-evident, Eker's contribution
is permission to think of one's financial foibles as a kind of mental
illness—one, he says, that has a ready set of cures."

"One of the most hilarious parts to this book is the example of what happens
when someone says, "Oh! Money is not that important."

"T. Harv Eker's reaction is to tap the palm of his hand on his forehead as he
say's, "Oh! I get it. You're broke!"
