8 Secrets of the Truly Rich

I went to Powerbooks this afternoon and skimmed two books and read two more from cover to cover. One of the two is Bo Sanchez’ 8 Secrets of the Truly Rich. Though not mentioned as the source of the book, it was evident to me that much of the ideas are similar to the Science of Getting Rich, one of the main sources of the The Secret which not sell like hot cakes. Because I listen to the Secret of Getting Rich everyday ( I recorded the whole book and I listen to my own voice), I can easily identify the principles which sound like Mr Wallace D. Wattles.

This is not to say that Bo copied from this man. If anything, the similarity simply shows that the law of attraction is universal. Even then, I have no problem if Bo simply copied from Wattles. Great principles are worthy copying. And I would be thankful to anyone who would spread the principles of Mr Wattles so Filipinos will learn to be truly rich.

I have realized long time ago that ideas of Zig Ziglar, John Maxwell, Rick Warren and other authors of equal stature have great resemblance to the principles popularized by people like Napoleon Hill, Orison Sweet Mardin, and even Norman Vincent Peale. And if I were to examine their ideas very closely, all of them undeniably simply repackaged the teachings we can all find in the Bible.

Please email me if you are interested to get a copy of the Science of Getting Rich. Let me go back to Bo’s book.

I recommend the 8 Secrets of the Truly Rich. Bo wrote the book for Filipinos . He used examples we Filipinos can easily relate with. He gave concrete examples, more specific ones than what you can find from Mr Wattles’ who wrote for the audience of his time. This one is an easy reading too for he writes like the way he talks. I finished reading the book in 30 minutes.

If you know Bo, and you are reading this, please tell him that I want to sell his books during my Personal Effectiveness workshops. Pick the book at your next visit at the bookstore or buy one in NBS.

(Note: Bo Sanchez and NBS will not pay me for mentioning them here. They do not know me at all.) Jef Menguin
