Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Michael Phillips developed MasterCard as vice president of the Bank of California. He is the author of Honest Business and The Seven Laws of Money. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

From AudioFile

The author/reader has some good ideas about why people get into trouble with money, along with advice and friendly insights that will make sense to most people right away. He gives listeners a deeper understanding of their bad habits, rather than just telling them what to do. There's a healing component to all of this, and perhaps a bit of redemption, all of it low-key, easy to listen to and consider. Because the focus is on becoming aware of and relaxed with one's money habits, the author's voice is a good fit–calm but not too Zen-like, and not at all pedantic. This enjoyable program encourages openness to new learning about one's relationship with money.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's not really about money., February 11, 2002

Gilbert Ikezaki (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Seven Laws of Money (Shambhala Pocket Classics) (Paperback)

If you are looking for a book on how to accumulate the maximum number of green backs, this book is not for you. If you want a simple philosophy of money which will make you wealthy in more than just the material sense, buy this book and read it at least twice.

I first read this book almost 20 years ago, and every time I got greedy, and broke one of the Seven Laws of Money, I paid dearly for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Use it as a bible or a roadmap, it stops you worrying, November 4, 1997

michel.bel@nl.origin-it.com (Eindhoven, Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Seven Laws of Money (Shambhala Pocket Classics) (Paperback)

This is one of the books I own two copies of, one for myself and one to loan out to others. It helps you to channel energy away from worrying about money to using and understanding money in your best way. Warning: It may change your life. And, like good wine, it ages well.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Seven Laws of Money (Shambhala Pocket Classics) (Paperback)

michael phillips is one of the most refreshing thinkers in the world of money and business. this book from the early 70's has much important wisdom for anyone concerned with the subject. the original by random house has been out of print for years and is well worth finding if you can get your hands on a copy. it's totally 70's san francisco, but is richer than the shamballa abridgement.

Very interesting book. It is not a "how to" book on making money rather a book on thinking about money from a qualitative or "mystical" perspective as the author says. Read more
