Thank you for answering my question. There's another book I have, but I'll ask you about it later. Regarding your response though, I agree with you to a point. But everyone is different. There are a range of individuals who never reconcile their bank statements monthly (if at all) to those who will always make sure they have two years worth of salary in savings at all times. I'll look into your publications before I ask you about the other remaining book I always keep on my shelf. Again, thank you for your honest reply.
Exchanging ideas with a thoughtful reader like you is very valuable to me. I’m looking forward to your other question. By the way, I don’t see this as a disagreement. When I said “simple,” I meant the simplicity of the application, but the human mind is complex. This actually brings us to my other book, The Mind's Operating System. In it, I explain the following example: “If you don’t notice, you can’t fix it, and without your willingness to fix it, a permanent solution is impossible.”
This is definitely not a disagreement. I respect your approach and ideas. Your are correct in that if an individual doesn't notice if something is amiss, it is unlikely they will know how to correct it. Unless they seek guidance from trusted resources. If they refuse to look for guidance or educate themselves, then they will not find a solution and continue down the same path they always have.
