That’s a great idea to have a section where community members can add book suggestions. We’ll add that to the list.

The no BS book was very interesting and I think listening to you guys and then getting the suggestion for this book at just the right time, made me take the leap. Although I’m not making any real money, it has boosted my confidence that this can really work.

Keep up the good work and maybe you should put a place that your readers/listeners can suggest books to you and the rest of the community.

That’s an interesting question. It would make a stronger impression, but you have to ask yourself if it’s the impression you want. Basically it comes down to this: does it communicate the impression you want to the customers that you ideally want to attract.

I’m sure that version of the title crossed Dan’s mind and he certainly has been so bold with things in the past, but he probably decided it would be a bit too much

@Dale,

I’ve read and recommend all the No BS books. I’d probably recommend his book about time next.

@Lynn,

You absolutely right about the head shots. Sterling has a new one now. I’m getting around to doing mine. I think I need a hair cut first!

@Corbin,

Great analysis of the book. I really enjoy that his books challenge my thinking so much.

You’re right about part 2 of the book. I only skimmed through it and then read the one or two sections that really interested me. It is, more or less, sales letters for those individuals, however, there is a lot to be learned by what Dan is doing there with the book. In the end, it’s a brilliant strategy.

@Dale,

I agree. It’s still worth it even if you only read the first part of the book.

First of all, thank you both for the useful and informative podcast! I initially discovered it around episode 17 or so and have been an avid fan ever since.

For anyone who has not yet read “Wealth Attraction,” a few comments. I picked up a copy after hearing Sterling and Jay talk *so* much about Mr. Kennedy. The book store I happened to be in at the time had only this volume in the series, so this was the one. Having not read (yet) any of Mr. Kennedy’s other books, here are my comments on this volume:

1)It is very easy to read and re-read. Similar to Dale’s review, I just re-read it on a recent plan trip. I really appreciate how he doesn’t pull punches, or wrap up a lot of impractical, useless generalizations and “theories” in an envelop of other generalizations and theories. One really gets the feeling that Mr. Kennedy lives, and has lived what he preaches.

2)Similar to Mr. Ferriss’ book, one needs to be prepared to have their assumptions challenged, and re-think beliefs of making money and especially managing/increasing money. His writings on business ownership and the sacred duties of business owners and entrepreneurs are *far* different than what popular media ceaselessly preaches today.

3)The guest chapters at the end (in my opinion,) are not as good as Mr. Kennedy’s text, and seem overly targeted toward getting the reader enough to hire them as consultants. Nothing at all wrong with that per se, but the content in those chapters was a bit light for folks that want to sell high dollar consulting. One area I did personally find interesting was the chapter on Tax Lien investing. I’d never heard of this before and the “teaser” chapter written by the guest author did make me want to know more.

All in all, and excellent very *readable* book by a man who really knows his stuff.

Best regards,
-Corbin

The title of this book raised a question for me: which would be better to use in a URL – the term “BS”, or the actual word “Bulls*it”?

I think using “BS” would attract a broader audience, but “Bulls*it would make a stronger impression.

Any thoughts?

Please keep recommending good books. Are there any other “No BS” books you guys recommend?

I’ve been listening and enjoying your podcasts for probably a year or so now and came to look at your new web presence. It looks much better – quite an upgrade from the old one.

My suggestion – you guys need to get new headshots – next to the fresh and airy design of the website, the photos just don’t cut it!

Lynn

I look forward to your many more insightful podcasts and new sites!

Please DO jump the gun. In fact, I’d love to have people’s insights as they read the book. Feel free to come back and share more.

Thoughts about money are powerful. That trick of asking “how can I afford this?” instead of saying “I can’t afford this” has had a significant impact on me. I’ve done things I would have never done otherwise (that worked out spectacularly) if I hadn’t pushed myself to be creative with my thoughts about money.

@Christina,

I think it is my favorite No BS book as well…and that is saying something because they are all awesome! I’m definitely working on the speed thing for myself. The book made me see places where I don’t act fast enough, usually because I am worrying about something insignificant to protect my own ego.

@Hendry,

Please let us know what you think when you do read it.

This by far is my FAVORITE of the NO BS books by Dan Kennedy!
I’ve read 3 others, which were all great! I like the concept of money
liking speed. The way to attract money is to move. Don’t stay stagnant.
It’s a must read for all entrepreneurs

This book of the month club is a great idea! I like the idea of you commenting about it in a podcast as well.

I’m going to jump the gun a bit here, as I’m only about half way through the wealth magnets. I think the book is fantastic, and I’m already seeing things change on a daily basis and start to improve!

One of the areas that I’ve become more aware of is the little things I say and think about money. Rich Dad talks about this a lot, saying “How can I afford it” instead of “I can’t afford it”, and Dan takes this to another level!!

I can’t wait to get through the rest of the book, and to see the improvements that it makes in my life over the coming months and years!

Keep up the good work guys!

Mark.
