Book Description

May 1995
Based on the classic teachings of the late Joe Karbo, who helped millions start on their way to Riches - this completely revised, updated, expanded and illustrated version of " The Lazy Man's Way to Riches " is more complete, as it includes all of the lessons learned by Dr. Nixon and Mr. Karbo from over twenty years of reader and seminar attendees feedback, since writing the original " Lazy Man".

As defined by Dr. Nixon, Riches are more than money, and include peace of mind, better relationships, joy happiness and health, as well as financial rewards.

By combining the practical wisdom of a self-help book, the sound advise of a money-making guide, and the spirituality of a Zen guide, Dr. Nixon, in effect gives the reader two books for the price of one - paying as much detail to personal development as to business.

Based on the concept that " to have more, one must first become more" - the first half is devoted to guiding the reader through self-analysis and self improvement steps. This helps each reader decide what it is you most want out of your life.

Widely used by educators, entrepreneurs, and therapists, "The Lazy Man's Way to Riches " is considered to be one of the best self-help books ever written.

The second part of this book shows you exactly how to get what you want. " The Lazy Man " has become a textbook for the entire direct response industry - including direct response mail, direct response television, direct response radio, and direct response on the Internet. All of the business trade secrets and fundamentals of direct response marketing and advertising are revealed.

This easy to read, and easy to follow book is a treasure of information, and belongs in everyone's success library!

Bonus:If you register the Amazon.com purchase of this book online at our website, you will get a free downloadable workbook (E-book) in the universal PDF format.

The "Roadmap to Riches" workbook takes you step by step from where you are - to where you want to be – both personally and professionally, by helping you implement the lessons you are learning in "The Lazy Man's Way to Riches".

The bonus workbook is an invaluable tool for insuring your continued life-long success. ________________________________________

5.0 out of 5 stars Best and most unusual self-help book I've ever read!, October 18, 1999
By A Customer
I've read about 75 of the best known self-help books, and TheLazy Man's Way to Riches is the most unusual one, and it actuallyworks! If you want to actually accomplish things, get it - but get the ORIGINAL, 1973 edition, which AMAZON.COM has in paperback and hardcover. Avoid the re-issue or the "Roadmap" workbook, both written 13 years after Joe Karbo's death. They are loaded with extraneous writing that sometimes contradicts the original text within.

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting what you want, November 30, 2000
I read Joe Karbo's The Lazy man's way to riches whilst still living in New Zealand in 1983. Joe's philosophy impressed me a great deal and not long after that I left NZ for a new life in Australia. In 1984 I began implementing the strategies and techniques from Joes' book in my own life and met with a great deal of success. Since 1989 I have been working as a personal growth and development consultant with unemployed people throughout Australia, using many of these strategies, alongside those of Anthony Robbins, Norman Vincent Peale, Robert Kiyosaki, Steven Covey and Edward de Bono in my presentations and training. Over all the results have been amazing, and my heart bursts with love and pride when I witness the changes that occur in peoples lives when they take on and apply the things Joe Karbo wrote about.Joe's book became my bible and I lost count of the number of times I lent it out and/or had to tape it back together again because it was falling apart. Eventually in 1995 it disappeared and I have been searching for it ever since. So it is with much joy that I order a new copy from amazon.com. The primary reason for this is that in my life I have been blessed with meeting so many incredible people, one of whom was Robert Kiyosaki who wrote a wonderful book called, "If you want to be rich and happy don't go to school". I have been fortunate enough to have worked with Robert for short time on one of his sojourns to Australia and he gave me some advice which I have never forgotten. That is, that no matter how many times you may read, try, do or see something, there is always some new thing to learn or some new distinction to make. This has been so true in the work I have done using Joe Karbo's The lazy man's way to riches. Dyna /psych is simple and powerful and does make a difference if you apply it with persistence, discipline and determination. The rewards, both material and spiritual are immense. Life is beautiful. Thank you Joe.
