The statement you quoted is powerful and raises alot of questions - no doubt about it.
The fact that you have a problem with or are somewhat opposed to the idea is because you are very much used to what you have in your current existence.
Challenge what you know and possibly accept that someone else's ideas could possibly be correct. It's the first step in a new direction which could possibly change your life.
Holding fast to your own current beliefs just means that you don't know different from how you currently live. That isn't a bad thing but take into account this author's idea isn't a bad thing either, just his POV.
Life is about abundance in all areas: financial wealth is one of them, I'd say go for it especially if you've lived life without alot of financial wealth. Once you achieve that, you can move onto other areas of your life that require focus & improving their abundance.
