Book Synopsis

Have you ever wondered why some people attract wealth while others stay financially trapped? The key is learning wealth-friendly, upside-down thinking.

In this New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller, Robert Shemin, one-time "idiot" and currently a multimillionaire, illustrates in a witty way how going against the grain is, in fact, the surest way to gain. Learn how to:

- set only one powerful success goal--and make it a big one
- play while your money goes to work
- stop building someone else's business and start building your own
- live and think like a millionaire while you're becoming one
- use the power and smarts of other Rich Idiots to help you join the Rich Idiot Club

Spend just a few pages with Robert and his Rich Idiot friends and you'll be convinced that "if they could do it, I can do it."

Review Quotes

"A breath of fresh air...Robert Shemin brings to this book a powerful personal story that commands attention. He was the class cut-up, the guy who never fit in exactly, an undiagnosed dyslexic who out of survival instinct simply decided to make up his own rules -- and, sure enough, riches followed. Shemin's key insight is that cultural indoctrination robs most of us of the courage to blaze new paths -- in fact, breeds a 'play it safe' follow-the-leader mentality that can be a financial death sentence. This book is loaded with perspective-altering tips on how to make money outside the rat-race paradigm and leverage the power of relationships in ways no one ever talks about. If you take to heart the lessons in this book, you will find the abundance you're searching for."
--Anthony Robbins, New York Times bestselling author of Awaken the Giant Within, Unlimited Power and Giant Steps
