Overview

The New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller!

“The Psychology of Wealth is a pertinent and comprehensive overview of the skills and mindset necessary for success. Prosperity can be achieved by anyone, and Dr. Richards shows the way.”
—Donald J. Trump

“What’s in your head determines what’s in your wallet. Dr. Richards gives you the mental hard-drive upgrade you need to finally achieve the greater prosperity and success you desire.”
—Darren Hardy, Publisher, SUCCESS magazine

“Dr. Richards shakes up our preconceptions about wealth by examining the psychological aspects of how we relate to money. When you understand the real sources of wealth in your life, you’ll find it much easier to achieve a more prosperous and happy life.”
—Jordan E. Goodman, America’s Money Answers Man at MoneyAnswers.com and Author of Master Your Money Type

“This might be one of the most important books you’ll ever read. If you feel like your life has been stuck in neutral—or even worse, put in reverse—Dr. Richards will set you on a clear path to success.”
—Barnet Bain, Producer, What Dreams May Come

About the Book:

Why do some people feel a perpetual state of lack and fear about money, while others feel genuinely prosperous, regardless of the size of their bank accounts? Why do some people shudder with dread when it comes to setting financial goals, while others embrace it with enthusiasm and confidence?

What makes the difference? Could it be in their relationship with money itself?

People who enjoy a healthy relationship with money share common habits and traits. So, how do they think, and what do they do differently? Are these behaviors hardwired in an individual’s psyche, or can they be learned?

In this provocative book, psychotherapist Dr. Charles Richards provides unexpected and encouraging answers to these questions. Based on his research and expert interviews, Dr. Richards shows how each of us can develop a thriving relationship with money and create a rich and rewarding life.

A t the book’s heart are the stories of people who have faced adversity with courage and created extraordinary lives. Their accounts—along with Dr. Richards’ interviews with finance professors, legislators, entrepreneurs, and mavens of success—pave a path to a brighter future for us all.

Today we live in a trying economic environment. Every day, popular financial advisors exhort us to hunker down, play it safe, and protect ourselves from an uncertain future. To the voices who promote fear and doubt, Dr. Richards answers with balance, wisdom, and optimism.

The Psychology of Wealth is for anyone interested in succeeding personally or professionally, and in achieving true prosperity. It offers golden steps on the path to a better life.

Charles Richards, Ph.D., is a Doctor of Clinical Psychology, author, and licensed psychotherapist in private practice. He has trained and coached the senior executives of many Fortune 100 corporations, including General Motors, IBM, Apple, Motorola, SAP, Qualcomm, Whirlpool, Honda, and Sony.

Love the stories and ideas in this book

Most books about wealth are a how-to, or tell you to visualize, but not to take action. This book makes you take a look at yourself, what your personal psychology of wealth is, and how you can make changes in your life by taking "small steps" toward improving your life in whatever way is important to you. The stories are heartwarming and inspirational and the cross-section of people is vast, representing people from all walks of life and backgrounds. They range from moderate to lower-income people to some very brilliant financial giants and/or educators—several were even part of important events in the history of the United States. Kudos to Dr. Richards for coming at this topic from an individual psychological perspective, and for giving suggestions on ways you can improve your life.

A must read!

The Psychology of wealth is a must read for anyone who wants to better themselves in business as well as in life. Dr Richards gives the reader a new perspective on exactly what wealth is and how to achieve it in your own life on a daily basis by taking certain steps. It is a new way of thinking and a new way of percieving the goals in your life. I highly reccomend this book!

Finance pornography

This is the sort of book that appears whenever the rich and greedy are beginning to feel the heat from below. It tells them what they want to hear, that's there's something noble and spiritually uplifting about taking more than their share. The only reason to buy this book would be to finally convince yourself--if you aren't already--that these people are delusional, will believe anything as long as it supports their pathological acquisitiveness, and have neither understanding of nor compassion for anyone outside their elite world. They are increasingly locking themselves into gated compounds, or establishing secure perimeters around their mansions because they see what is coming, all the time wondering where they went wrong when "authorities" like this told them they were doing well by doing good. I tried to submit without giving it any stars, but the program wouldn't let me. "One star" is my equivalent of "F" on the final exam.

Now this is something that I can attain!! LOVE THIS BOOK!

In my family, I'm the one that does the budgeting and I handle the monies. My husband and I, together, are always saying how can we attain more wealth??!! I look at the actual numbers, and I've read books and articles and watched financial topic shows that tell you how to look at your finances and so on and so forth. That angle really doesn't cut it for us to change things in the way we envision...we already have a budget and stick with it...that's what I find so different about this book ... it not only simply spells out some of these things, in a little different light, as well, it totally shed light on a new way for us to look at wealth and shows how it is absolutely attainable!! Thank you Dr. Charles Richards! We have made some changes and are already seeing results! Amazing!
