Mr. Everit's Secret: What I Learned from the World's Richest Man

by Alan Cohen

In the tradition of Who Moved My Cheese? , Mr. Everit’s Secret is a modern-day parable that examines many of our preconceived notions about money and our ability to create the good life. You can have everything you want in life--success, relationships, career, money, happiness--and it doesn’t have to be a struggle. Most of us were taught that to reach our goals, we have to work hard and fight every step of the way. But it’s simply not true. Syndicated columnist and esteemed corporate keynote speaker Alan H. Cohen shows us that our goals are already within reach but we are often too comfortable in our lives--even if our lives stink--to step forward into change. Mr. Everit’s Secret imparts important lessons about changing from a fear mentality to a wealth mentality, overcoming small and self-defeating modes of thinking, and taking care of people while letting life take care of you. Bestselling author Alan Cohen shows us not only how to create financial success, but also that happiness and joy that must go along with it to make it all worthwhile.

I was extremely excited about the book because the person who lent me the book was infectiously excited about it.

However, in reading the first few pages I realised it's not for me. There may come a time when it may be something I value, but right now I just don't see much value in it.

This feels like one of the or perhaps the only books I hate read.

This is a great book for helping you separate the wheat from the chaff, as they say. It surprised me with the title vs. the actual info in the book. It's a parable that is really worthy of the short read. I've kept it for re-reading to remind me of important takeaways.

[Dani Miller · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read this book so many times I cannot count them. It is truly a good pick me up read and very self motivating, in story form instead of self-help fashion

The power of abundance versus lack.

Such an interesting book! Each chapter, with it's story, helps you discover new solutions to everyday problems, new ideas, new possibilities! It was indeed fantastic!
