Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker

I am often averse to books with title covers filled with texts in varying sizes, recommendation stamps and call-to-action what-not's. This book? It has all of those. This pandemic can really force you to prefer things beyond the usual "you". 

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind is a self-help financial book written by T. Harv Eker, a businessman and motivational speaker known for his theories on wealth and motivation. Tthus, the book. I honestly didn't think I would enjoy reading it because, again, the title cover plus my innate thinking that books such as this and myself don't go well together. 

Thoughts lead to feelings, feelings lead to actions, actions lead to results. I often catch myself murmuring these phrases, which I got from Eker. It's what he calls the Process of Manifestation. Whether it's money, relationships, career or anything else, in order to attain your desired results, you need to backtrack and condition your actions, feelings then thoughts. I am, in fact, impressed at how simple that is, I just need to practice it more so it becomes a habit.

Another entertaining part of this book is the Wealth Files. It is 17 ways rich people think and act differently from poor and middle-class people. This portion gave me a lot of "ah's" and "oh's", which I find educational because at the end of each one, Eker lists down Millionaire Mind Actions you can do if you want to correct that mindset of yours. The most inspiring for me was Wealth File No. 9: Rich people are bigger than their problems. Poor people are smaller than their problems. This part encourages readers to think that the secret to success is not to try to avoid, or get rid of, or shrink from, problems; the secret is to grow yourself so that you are bigger than any problem.

It was a fun read. Some marketing snippets about Eker's programs are a bit off, though. But it still brought me good inspiration.
