5.0 out of 5 stars It's a good book ......
If you're expecting a spelled-out way to make money, you won't find that here, per se. Although it is a book about solid money managing principles. Things like contolling what you spend, not putting all your eggs in one basket, and owning property are solid ideas that the author writes about. Good long term advice.

I read this book when I was in Kuwait. Sure it gives an interesting perspective on business, but the business principles mentioned aren't just harbored by the Kuwaiti's - they are held by all successful businesspeople around the world.

I was really disappointed at the poor quality of photographs, and the total lack of credit to the photographers or institutions the author and publisher stole them from. I expected a higher degree of professionalism in a "wealth enhancement" book.

Does this mean the Kuwaiti's condone stealing the works of others through the utter disregard of proprietary rights through the lack of proper attribution? I don't think so.

On the other hand, it was a good enough book to rate 2 stars because of the order in which the information was presented. However, I expected a lot more. I could have gone on to a web-site and found the same information without paying...

Buy at your own risk. You might find it an enjoyable read and it would be well-worth it. However, the author and publisher set a bad example for the above mentioned reasons.
