From the Publisher

Mark Victor Hansen is the mastermind behind the blockbuster Chicken Soup series, and Robert G. Allen is the personal finance expert who wrote the million-selling Nothing Down and Creating Wealth. What brings these two bestselling authors together is their belief that good thinking and good spirits should be compatible gifts. Part inspirational fable and part motional personal finance book, The One Minute Millionaire could be the most unconventional and uplifting business book you've ever read.

This mega-selling twosome (Hansen's name is on every book in the Chicken Soup series and Allen wrote the bestselling real estate guide No Money Down) offers a long-winded pep talk on how just about anybody can make big money. According to the authors, "At this very instant you are standing in the middle of millions." They maintain that anyone can achieve "enlightened" wealth, a utopia where everyone has money and tithes, creating a better world for all. Hansen and Allen's approach is a mix of self-help and money talk, though a bit heavier on the former. The left-hand pages are a simplified explanation of how to amass millions, with options such as write a book, buy and sell real estate and start a company. The right-hand pages illustrate the same themes, via fictionalized dramas, e.g., newly widowed Michelle's struggle to come up with $1 million in cash to get her two children back from her in-laws. Hansen and Allen's feel-good suggestions run along the lines of "find a mentor," "use a fulcrum" and "be part of a team." Full of endless acronyms (e.g., "System: Save Your Self Time Energy Money"), catchy phrases (e.g., "A Dream + A Team + A Theme = Millionaire Streams") and animal imagery (butterflies, honeybees, owls and hares scamper among the pages), this offering echoes much of the self-help cacophony already out there. But its message is muddled: sometimes the millions are yours for the asking, and sometimes it's the system that keeps you down. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.

Publishers Weekly

In an inspirational guidebook to accumulating personal wealth, two best-selling authors have teamed up to present a "millionaire system" to help readers create wealth, build wealth rapidly, overcome fears, take risks and succeed over the long term. The book's format is a unique combination of a fictional story (the right-hand pages) and nonfiction, practical strategies (the left-hand pages) that combine to provide lessons and techniques for ethically creating wealth.

Soundview Executive Book Summaries

One of the Chicken Soup authors and a top real estate author team up to offer their lessons in two formats--one didactic and the other a fable. The lessons focus on the practices and passion you need to be successful with any money-making system. The large and steady stream of information is powerful. The basic idea is that small corrections in our habits can have an enormous long-term impact on our attitudes and financial results. The authors are empowering and effective speakers who are committed to their ideas, which are well detailed in this unabridged work. An excellent program for listeners with the time and desire to immerse themselves in the substance of this program. T.W. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
