Red face Honestly...

I don't think it's so easy to instantly change yourself after reading one book. And if you don't expose yourself to different resources, you miss out.

TSoGR is a great book and is truly valuable, but I have to disagree with the suggestion to not read another book until you fully understand this particular book. This is 2007, not 1910. There is wealth of more information available now. I would recommend combining TSoGR with additional books as well.

I believe our financial situations are emotionally based. If you are broke and struggling, then there is an emotional reason for that. And it has nothing to do with money. A lot of people act out their pain and frustrations through their money, because that's the only way they know how express their feelings. They don't know how to deal with their feelings properly, and as a result they have limiting beliefs about reality.

Most people need to work on creating the mentality that they are worthy of their dreams and I don't think TSoGR can help everyone with this. People who don't live the life they want, have emtional blocks that they need to work through, before they can fully understand the book.

If you follow the advice not to read anything else until you've really got it, you've followed all the steps and you're successful...then it will be years! You will spend years reading the same book and you will miss out on other information that could have been valuable to you.

Everything we want to know about life is spread out through different resources. We don't grow from exposure to one resource, but from many. I believe that reading this one book and that's all, is unrealistic. You can learn something from everyone and you don't have to wait until you fully understand a given book in order to move on to the next. This isn't learning math, it's learning to be your best self. It's not neat like an equation, it's complicated.
