After reading Secrets of The Millionaire Mind, I gave myself a few weeks of break to absorb the learnings from the book and then I started reading The One Minute Millionaire book. You must think I’m quite serious about becoming a millionaire with all the titles I’ve been reading. Yes of course I’m serious. Wouldn’t you want to learn how to be a millionaire too?
Anyway, whilst it took me a very short time to read Secrets of The Millionaire Mind, it took me a long while to read this one. The One Minute Millionare book is written in quite a different way to cater to the different styles that people learn from. Written by Mark Victor Hansen (perhaps you would recogise that name from the Chicken Soup For The Soul series) and Robert Allen, this book is written in two formats to cater to the styles I talked about.
On the left side of the book’s pages the content is written up as lessons on how to amass your wealth. On the right side of the book pages unfold a fictional story about a widowed mother who needs to make a million dollars in 3 months time. So depending on the kind of reader you are, you can read either of the format that suits you best, or both the formats in order to appreciate the lessons more.
Basically The One Minute Millionaire book talks about lessons on how to make money in a short period of time. And throughout the book, it also talks about how to do it the enlightened way. This was what I learned about the book before reading it. So now that I’ve completed it, do I think it is a worth while book to spend time reading and re-reading? Read the rest of this post for a review and what I think of this book.
I chose to start reading the fictional part of the book first, and then to follow through with the lessons bit. I figured that since I like reading novels, I would quickly finish reading the ficton but I was wrong. It took me very long to finish it as I didn’t find it compelling enough.
Though the story was jazzed up to make it interesting, I didn’t find it so. I actually thought it was a rather boring storyline but for the sake of wanting to know what are the lessons behind the story, I pressed on to finish reading it.
Once I was done reading the fiction, I didn’t bother to read the left side of the pages for the lessons. Ultimately I found the ideas introduced in the book to help someone make a lot of money to be nothing new and compelling. I’m not saying that only new and fresh ideas would work, but I found the lessons offered to be very general.
It is a rather disappointing read but luckily I bought this from a warehouse sale and it cost me less than RM10. I thought a big name like Mark Victor Hansen, who’s also a millionaire, would make this a great learning for me but it really didn’t turn out that way.
Having said that, anyone who’s interested to read this book and want to get it off me, feel free to do so. Pay RM3 for the book (it’s in very good condition) and the actual postage incurred, and the book is yours.

since you have already gave such a bland perception about the book
