Thou Shall Prosper: Ten Commandments for Making Money

I hear many things about Jews and money but with this great book I can understand more properly the meaning of business

I picked up this book as a result of Rabbi Lapin's interview with Pastor Benny Hinn whom I deeply respect. I am completely blown away by the content, it is definitely life transforming for me. Though the topic is on money but Rabbi Lapin sheds valuable insight into other matters such as retirement, charity and coincidence and many more. I am totally in agreement that there is no such thing as coincidence - it simply does not exist, at least not in my life and am now 41. I also love the stories that he gives to support his convictions on every subject. I find myself highlighting the better part of the book but this will enable me now go back and put to work his recommendations - especially on getting acquainted with numbers. I have bought his recommended book, that is why I love kindle, and I have also downloaded a personal financial app I will now be making use of. Thank you Rabbi for this book, it was definitely not a coincidence for me. As I read it, I find that it totally relates to the changes that is currently taking place in my life. I am at a point of career Decision and all I really want to do is give. Awesome book indeed - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

The premise makes sense - "A practical approach to creating wealth-based on the established principles of ancient Jewish wisdom-made accessible to people of all backgrounds." Thou Shall Prosper accomplished the task perfectly. Wisdom of "the ages" was delivered - and it was entirely accessible. I took plenty of notes. Have already taken some specific steps in my own business. Perhaps even more important/valuable in the this book was a good old fashioned defense of capitalism - of "making money" in general. As an entrepreneur, I'm often surprised out how others not responsible for every element of their revenue/incomes look at the world quite differently than I do. In short, my worldview and "businessview" (I know, not a term, but I'm using it anyway) are closer to this Rabbi than most of my non-entrepreneurial peers. Didn't see that coming. But at the end of the day, I'm going with this book more than my peers - or certainly anyone these days put in charge of regulating the money I work so hard to make. Didn't realize how beneficial and encouraging this book would be to me. If you don't take a paycheck, I recommend it highly. If you do take a paycheck, consider reading it as well. It might change your mind in a few places. One of my new years declarations was that I'd read a book every week. Join me on this journey? [...]

This book provides insight I didn’t realize about being in business. Media and TV shows give it a negative connotation that we must see through and live productive lives.

I highly recommend this book to help you get your mind right and reach your full potential. I will purchase this book for my friends!

Heard about this book from Dave Ramsey and it do not disappoint. Awesome awesome awesome book. I absolutely loved it.

Rabbi Lapin takes up where the "positive thinking - visualization" books leave off by offering straight forward, proven strategies for making money and doing well in business. Based on thousands of years of Jewish culture and history, Rabbi Lapin distills the attitudes, values, and business practices that have repeatedly led people to prosperity down to easy to understand concepts and habits. He starts by explaining the real attitude you need to succeed - it's more than just positive thinking! Then he goes on to explain "The Ten Commandments" of building wealth with a chapter dedicated to each one. And every chapter includes specific actions you need to take to succeed. I highly recommend this for anybody who's in business or wants to go into business. It 's the best business book I've read since "The E-Myth" and contains just as much practical advice! BTW, I have over 30 years in retail management as well as currently owning one business and getting ready to launch another. Wish I would have had this book back when I was getting started, it would have helped me avoid a lot of headaches as well as be much further ahead.

"Thou Shall Prosper" is one of the best books I've read on the subject of business in a long time. I purchased it after seeing a Dave Ramsey recommendation of it and couldn't stop reading once I started! No get-rich-quick gimmicks here, just a solid treatise on the principles for building meaningful wealth. In my humble opinion, it ranks with Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits" and Jim Collin's "Good to Great" for personal and business development. The first chapter challenges the growing mis-perception that business is inherently bad and instead lays a foundation showing the honor of doing business when guided by principles of integrity and fairness. The book then proceeds to unpack various aspects of personal and business development such as leadership, navigating change, communication, and managing money. As a rabbi, the author interweaves a spiritual perspective on business showing how building wealth is not about the things you acquire, rather it is a reflection of who you are as a person. I buy this book as a gift for friends, and it always stimulates engaging discussions! Highly recommended.

Delivered on time . Safe and secure

I was meant to purchase, "You Revealed: A Torah Path to a Life of Success" but accidentally bought this book. And it was an amazing read. The first chapter tackle the perspective of accepting money as a byproduct of providing a good product or service to others and the last chapter; never retiring from giving others that special service only you know how to deliver. The world needs more good and hardworking people to start businesses. Those people need to read this book, so they realize they are doing God's work on earth. A great book in the style of the 10 commandments, and has easy language to follow. Hard to put down, once you start to read it. It helps you to see business and life from a different perspective.

Thanks for all the great input. I really like the book and the examples the author gave. Very interesting details. Recommended!

Excellent book, full of timeless principles that everyone should know. A real jewel.

I got the order before the estimated date of delivery. This book is excellent, and filled with wisdom! I am always looking forward to closing time from work so I could go home and read a section of the book daily.
