Summary
"Thinking like a poor person will keep you poor. Thinking like a wealthy person will make you wealthy. I would like to show you exactly what the differences between the two ways of thinking are and how you can use them in your favour." (Douglas Kruger)
Being rich is not normal: most people never achieve wealth in their lifetime. The very word "rich" describes a state beyond the median, and therein lies an important lesson.
To become rich, you will have to think radically differently from the way most people around you think. Do you know what those specific differences may be? Business and wealth guru Douglas Kruger strips away the feel-good hype and gets right down to the practical principles. He leads you through the types of thinking that hold individuals, families, and businesses in generational cycles of poverty. He explores the dramatically different approaches of the self-made rich and super-rich, showing you which behaviours to begin practising and which behaviours are traitorous to your wealth potential.
Escape poverty. Raise your value. Change the trajectory of your story. It all begins with the way you think.
Douglas Kruger is a business strategist, author and global speaker. He helps organisations untangle the thinking that makes them industry dinosaurs and shows them where all the levers are for real-world innovation and growth. Douglas is also the author of Own Your Industry, Relentlessly Relevant, How to Make Your Point Without PowerPoint, and They're Your Rules, Break Them!, published by Penguin.

Excellent book, food for thought.
Very good overview of conscious and unconscious biases to overcome to improve your finances. Some were confronting, hard truths to swallow, but true nonetheless.

Good principles, but OMG sexist
I would love Douglas Kruger to reread his book through the eyes of a woman. I am half way through and the only representation of women so far are:
1. A woman with working class thinking (i.e. keeping her poor).
2. A woman who makes poor choices about money, even if she thinks she's being sensible.
3. Prostitutes at different price points as an illustration for having value in your worth. Yes, really.
4. A woman who is now risk averse in dating men due to previous failure in love.
5. A woman who has made poor choices about a man because she has given her power to him.
6. Women being "dancing girls"
7. Women being "bunny girls"
8. His wife made the decision to say no to a promotion. A good decision - but the potential power of her decision was diluted because of his long description in how hard that was for them both.
Men are the ones driving Ferraris, making lots of money, takings risks, being successful - even the fictional Joe Consultancy was more successful and prosperous than any woman in the book. Seriously, I'm sick of this.
As I say: good principles - I'll finish the book - but OMG sexist.
