Thou Shall Prosper – Ten Commandments for Making Money
Since most of the members of the book club are in direct sales or are in the process of starting owning a small business I figured this would be a great read.
The topic of being afraid to make money and feeling like having money is unethical comes up all the time when i attend conferences and seminars with wealthy entrepreneurs. And all agree that the fear of making money is one of the main reasons people don’t succeed in business and even in life. And this book is always a recommended read to overcome that fear.
About The Book:
There’s no better source for both practical and spiritual financial wisdom than the time-tested knowledge found in the ancient Jewish faith and culture. Now, with the Second Edition of Thou Shall Prosper, Rabbi Lapin returns to provide a clear picture of how following an unwavering economic and philosophic vision of business and money—based on the established principles of Jewish tradition—can increase your potential for creating wealth.
While unprecedented events have changed the world we live in, the ten fundamental “commandments” outlined throughout these pages, which relate to both business and money, are as relevant as ever. By blending contemporary business stories and his own business experiences with the wisdom of the Torah and Talmudic prescriptions, Rabbi Lapin skillfully explains the essence of each commandment—which include Believe in the Dignity and Morality of Business, Do Not Pursue Perfection, and Know Your Money—and shows you how to use them to prosper financially.
Along the way, Rabbi Lapin also highlights new examples that will help you excel during difficult economic times and addresses important concepts such as “being in business for yourself”; avoiding the trappings of a “wage slave”; changing with the times; learning to become a leader; and much more. So that you may apply each principle to your life, Rabbi Lapin suggests engaging and accessible action steps to start you immediately on the path to prosperity.
With the Second Edition of Thou Shall Prosper as your guide, you’ll quickly discover the powerful wealth-producing principles that lie at the root of Jewish success—and learn how to apply them to your own endeavors. No matter what your faith or background, the insights found here will put you in a better position not only to maximize your potential, but also help those around you.
