Maintain the Marshmallow Principle-with this follow-up to the international bestseller!
Everyone's favorite stumbling striver returns in another simple and telling parable from acclaimed motivational expert Joachim de Posada. Arthur has been practicing the principles of success, but after he accepts a lucrative new job, he finds himself reverting to his old gobbling habits. Perfect for anyone in transition, this book explains how to apply the principles of success to changing circumstances. In our go-go culture, "wait" has become the most offensive of four-letter words, but patience is not the same as self-sacrifice, and holding out for something you really want is far more satisfying than settling for whatever is available. Don't Gobble the Marshmallow...Ever! teaches the importance of lifelong non-nibbling-and promises sweet rewards.

This review is from: Don't Gobble the Marshmallow...Ever!: The Secret to Sweet Success in Times of Change (Hardcover)
At first glance this book seems like simple fiction with life lesson material that many are already familiar with: conservative spending while planning your nest egg, setting realistic goals and planning ways to reach them. The story, however, is surprisingly powerful in an understated and subtle way. In fact the strength of it sneaked up on me as I moved through the book.
At a time in my own life when I was working through a major life change, I found this book to be a terrific asset to my ability to be resourceful and focused. In fact, after I finished reading it one evening in bed, I got up and began writing down ideas to implement the author's principles and ended up working out issues and writing plans far into the night.
This is a great book to help readers become involved in manifesting a life path that more accurately reflects the desires of the heart, and offers practical suggestions to get moving in that direction.
At the same time it reminds readers to make allowances for the future by not only living within our means, but by savoring the fruits of our accomplishments (the marshmallow) in nibbles, rather than gobbling the entire fruit at one sitting.
For a society filled with entrepreneurs who have no focus, employees who hate their jobs and consumers with over-extended credit lines, this is a book that brings common sense and heart back into the mix of making a living while leading a meaningful life.

In this easy to read book, Joachim de Posada and his co-writer bring us the continuation to Don't eat the Marshmallow Yet. This book stands alone even if you haven't read the first one. The Marshmallow Principle that is the basis for both books is one of the most important lessons for anyone who wants to build wealth throughout their lifetime. It provides you steps that you can take to identify need from want and help you build a future in which your needs and wants can be taken care of. Read it and you will be on the road to your future success, pass it up, and you will continue to live your wants until your needs cannot be taken care of.

Having thoroughly enjoyed Don't Eat The Marshmallow Yet, I was eagerly anticipating the next sequel. It doesn't disappoint. The authors point out through time tested and proven fables that success is not rocket science, it is a matter of continuously adhering to certain principles and practices that have proven themselves time and again. Like the first book this is a must read for all high school graduates going out into the world.
