The Money Mindset

The first step towards getting rich is very psychological and spiritual and this is the basis upon which Mungoshi Jr drives his motivational message in this book. The powerful command of subject and language in this book is of a writer writing out of conviction, and from the heart of experience in money matters. He has published several books but this one puts a stamp of excellence on his overall motivational authorship. How he tackles the work or power of the human mind and spirit in money matters is indeed mature, understandable and practicable. In this classic book, Mungoshi Jr has no ear for all-I-want-is-to-be-rich kind of people. This, he emphasizes, is a wrong approach or attitude to life. He encourages that specificity in making decisions on how much money one wants is of great significance. “Do not be vague in your desires. If it is five hundred dollars you want, be direct about it….The fear of figures is what stops people from having what they want. You can have all you want but you need to be specific and direct about it,” he says in the closing chapter ‘The Ultimate Money Mindset’ The mind and spirit are complicated human elements and yet Mungoshi Jr simplifies their positive power over one’s life. Do not be afraid, his book does not offer mystic, fetishes, or voodoo tricks to get rich quick but gives guideposts in self-development geared towards building what he calls the ‘prosperity consciousness’.
