Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Psychologist Ross first published this book in 1982, with a subsequent edition in 1985 and a related cassette and video in 1983 and 1988. After her death last year, her daughters used her notes and some additional interviews to create this final version. Ross opposed the "scarcity principle"-the idea that there is never sufficient money, love, sex, power, etc. to go around-that seems so thoroughly ingrained in our competitive society. Instead, she encourages women to think in terms of prosperity, to be open to the opportunities, alternatives, and resources that surround them, if only they will see them. This book provides specific suggestions for overcoming fear of failure, taking responsibility for managing money, finding balance in relationships, and developing self-awareness and direction. Although a few of the passages reflect the earlier era from which some of this material derives, much of her advice seems as sorely needed as ever in the 1990s. Recommended for public libraries.

Review
Many women are uncomfortable with personal success, internalizing underlying social messages that women should not be successful and independent. Ross shows women who to overcome these underlying messages, from defining prosperity and understanding goals and desires to blending career and home aspirations to achieve fuller lives. -- Midwest Book Review

Achieving Abundance,
By
This review is from: Prospering Woman: A Complete Guide to Achieving the Full, Abundant Life (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for women who are afraid that if they are successful, they will not be loved. Its a book that will show you how to be independant and strong, but still remain feminine. Topics include examining beliefs regarding money, power, love and dependency. Ross gives some healthy examples of how to look at receiving and spending money. Also discussed in the book is being self-aware, and knowing who you are. There are questions and answers with successful women that give very good examples of the principles. A very good book for women who desire to become successful.
