About Dollars Want

The booklet teaches the individual how to so radiate his mental forces as to cause the Dollar to feel him, love him, seek him, and thus draw at will, all things needed for his unfoldment from the Universal Supply. It will help you to rise above the drudgery of enforced labor and will enable you to enter upon the manifold expressions of life with the joy and spontaneity of manhood.

"A helpful little pamphlet which every business man and woman should have upon their desks. It is a desirable teaching for others to have also." ~ N. Y. Times.

To know something wants you is far mor powerful to want a thing. To be in want is to be at the door of scarcity, but to be wanted is to dine with abundance. Chasing after a desire is to quickly lose speed and energy, but to be desired is like being central to the action all around as the source of energy which has the power to channel and redistribute the object of desire. A short but powerful discourse, this book is mind altering in a great way. I have changed many of my affirmations to redirect the flow of energy into the things I once desired, to instead have those things desire me and my inspired power to use them and give them purpose. You will not be disappointed that you took an hour of your time to read this book.

Educativo, pero sencillo. Básicamente la ley de atracción, pero lo que me ha gustado es que en 1903 ya se hablaba de esto. Una grata sorpresa. Creo que el formato original resultaba más ameno, siendo libro se torna ciertamente repetitivo, pero es pasable. Me llevo unas cuántas frases que he copiado en un archivo Word. Sólo me queda decir gracias.

Enlightening, understanding instead of what you want think on those things as wanting and needing you. Money needs you. Affirming the distribution of dollars. I have dollars to bless. Dollars want and love me.

Another new age teaching how could we prosper, though the new age not that thick in this book. The principles more or so the same with many other authors in this genre, basically in the law of attraction. What you imagine, that would be the reality.

Dieses Buch ist Gold Wert. Wenn man bedenkt zu welcher Zeit, diese zu einem Buch zusammen gesetzen Artikel(es war eine Artikelserie der Zeitschrift Now) herausgegeben wurden. Dieser Autor war unserer Zeit weit voraus. Danke für dieses Lesevergnügen.

Das Thema Geld und die Frage danach, wie Wohlstand zu erreichen ist, ist für jeden, der nicht anstrebt, ein asketischer Meister zu werden, von Interesse.
Henry Harrison Brown veröffentlicht in seinem Werk „Dollars Want Me“ 1903 einen untypischen Ansatz im Vergleich zum Raubtierkapitalismus- oder Frugalismusmethode sonstiger Finanzratgeber.
Das Ziel, Geld zu bekommen, ist in diesem Werk nur reißerisches Beispiel, um eine theologische Weltanschauung und Lebensphilosophie zu verbreiten.
Es geht um Grundvertrauen in Gott, um die Macht der Affirmationen und die Betrachtung, Geld nicht als Selbstzweck, sondern als Mittel zu begreifen, um Gutes in dieser Welt zu schaffen.
Paraphrasiert: Hilf deinen Mitmenschen, habe eine höhere Emotion als Antrieb und Motivation für Geld und sehe dich als würdig an, dann wird das Geld via Gesetz der Anziehung zu dir kommen.

Inhaltlich natürlich ein schönes Konzept, welches man sich in seinem Streben nach Reichtum durchaus immer wieder bewusst machen sollte, und auch die Wirkmacht von Affirmationen, sei es nur für das eigene Selbstbewusstsein, sich mal wieder in Erinnerung zu rufen, ist auch nicht verkehrt. Aber darüber hinaus wird man leider nicht mit brillanten, neuen Erkenntnissen beschenkt.

Ich persönlich hätte aufs Lesen verzichten können, wobei es schon interessant ist, zu wissen, dass Ideen, welche heute mein Leben mitbestimmen, bereits vor über hundert Jahren bekannt waren. Ob ich es dennoch anderen empfehle, ist eine schwierige Entscheidung, denn es ließe sich durchaus darüber diskutieren, ob wir in einer Utopie leben würden, wenn jeder nach der Maxime dieses Buchs handeln würde.
Das Buch ist eine Möglichkeit für einen sanften thematischen Einstieg in die New-Thought-Bewegung (Mind over Matter), aber da gibt es andere Bücher, die ich definitiv vorziehen würde.

There are some good ideas in here. Nothing revolutionary by any means, especially if you're already familiar with the "New Thought" writings of the early 20th century. But it's a quick read, so I'd suggest it.
