This little book is an easy read, organized by subjects and written in brief, single-page, thought-provoking essays. One can spend ten minutes on a section, walk away and ponder, and return whenever time allows without losing the thread of the book. It is almost a recipe book for life for those who have lived through the acquisition-is-all 80s and long for a more fulfilled, balanced life. It is highly appropriate for males or females, especially for those just starting adult life or those hitting the midlife "questioning" time. If you stop to think about it, most of what is in this book is something you once knew or could have figured out on your own, given enough time. But since Lemke and Diedrich have already done that and laid it succinctly before you, you have the option of moving forward, using their formulas or advice, and deciding whether it works for you. I liked the sections on keeping perspective, work, and family, but my favorite was the one on personal culture -- a road map to help you know what kind of person you want to be, and how to get there. Despite its readability, this book isn't an easy-answer book. It asks some hard questions, and for those dedicated to finding that richer life, the work is just beginning!

This book is the type you can not put down once you start reading it. It is very easy to reference to it and it reminds you of the important things in life. It's make for a very nice gift to anyone you love.

If you choose to read only one risk management book this year, make it this one. It is worth its weight in gold, chock-full of practical tips to help you trim your insurance costs without sacrificing the quality of your protection. Your bosses will think you're brilliant and the book will be a useful survival kit in a very tough commercial insurance market!!

I forced myself to read this book because I needed to figure out my insurance situation. I actually enjoyed reading it and it gave me some very useful tips. This book makes buying insurance much easier for the small business that can't afford the time or money to mess around.

Extremely easy to read. Easy, step-by-step approach into public speaking with very relevant topics such as its steak and sizzle technique to keep the listeners on their feet. After my speeches nowadays, people are always walking up to me afterwards complimenting me on how great the speech was, which a chunk of it is due to this book.

STIMULATING IDEAS. QUICK AND EASY READ. VERY INFORMATIVE. GIVES IDEAS FROM OPENERS TO CLSERS.

In this great book by the great Wade Cook, real estate expert Wade Cook reveals 101 ways to buy real estate with no cash. Most of the other books that talk about "no money down" real estate investing give you 5-10 techniques. Wade Cook gives you 101!

Great book. Thanks Wade!

This book was very helpful to me when I first started becuase I didn't have either cash or credit. WADE offers a portfolio of 101 techniques to buy real estate with little or none of your own money.

I heard a statistic once that Wade Cook was responsible for helping to create more real estate millionaires through his unique formula's than anyone else. Easy to see why. In 101 strategies, Wade offers 101 ways to buy real estate without cash or credit. The formula's work. I've used them.

You will also need Wade's flagship work Real Estate Money Machine along with Real Estate for Real People. I also recommend How To Pick Up Foreclosures.

Get the best advice from the millionaire maker.

Very good book and one that lets us see some good ideas but then it goes and gives too many obvious ideas that you should have been doing already. However, if you aren't doing them than it is a great way to find out you should
