Let me start by saying that I read the reviews before reading this book and they didn’t give me a good feeling. However, I decided to ignore what everyone else was saying (the reviews) and judge for myself. I downloaded the book to my kindle and started reading it.

Major plus for this book was that it was a very quick and easy read, I finished in three days! For me, that is saying something even though it was only being an 85 page book (I’m a slow reader). Once I got started, I was captivated. The author’s approach to explaining the Rich Habit Program was not like any other “program” book that I have read. Instead of giving details about how the program will help you and how it is formatted, the author tells the story of how the actions of one man helped change the lives of millions of people.

It begins with telling the story of several people who find themselves at their breaking points. Then tells how the Rich Habits Program came about. Then it describes the steps in the program, before going into how it impacted the lives of the individuals that have gone through the program. This book gives you ten rich habits that you can fit into your lifestyle to jump-start your own success.

I only have on negative thought about this book, but it is not regarding its content.  I was introduced to this book through an article in  Success Magazine, titled 16 Rich Habits. After reading and listening to Tom Corley’s interview,  I believed that the book would contain more than the ten data points of rich habits.   But that was my own misunderstanding.  In the interview he said that his research uncovered more than 250 data points and habits that the rich were engaging in that the poor were not. He gave 16 in the article but there were only 10 given in the book. I felt like I was missing out on the other 240 habits. But, maybe more will come in another book.
